| Resumen |
Following general considerations on the optimal level of safety, and on electrical accident statistics, the author considers various possible ways of protection against contact hazards. He then considers fault-current sensitive circuit breakers (tripping limit: 30mA): historical review, operation, medical aspects, protection applications, conditions for use, possible effects. The problem of protective conductors has not yet been fully resolved. It is concluded that widespread use of the fault-current circuit breaker would reduce by 80% the number of fatal electric accidents (around 160 fatalities per year in the Federal Republic of Germany). |
