Using safety switches to protect your family

Safety Switches provide additional protection against electrocution. If they detect an earth fault they quickly switch off the power, preventing electrocution and minimising the fire danger. Safety Switches are only a back-up. They may not be protecting ALL wiring and electrical appliances, and WILL NOT prevent ALL electric shocks.

This section explains how Safety Switches work, and how to select the right Safety Switches to protect your family from electric shock and reduce the risk of fire.
