Leakage Circuit Breakers
Leakage Circuit Breakers are safety devices designed to protect electrical circuits from faults that can cause electric shocks or fires. They work by detecting any imbalance in the electrical current flowing through the circuit. If the current leakage exceeds a certain threshold, the breaker automatically disconnects the power supply, preventing potential hazards.
These devices are commonly used in residential and commercial settings to enhance electrical safety. They are particularly important in areas where water is present, such as bathrooms and kitchens, as the risk of electric shock is higher. Regular testing and maintenance of Leakage Circuit Breakers are essential to ensure their effectiveness.
