Did you know that 30% of power disturbances on the installation is not caused by overload or short circuit, but due to disruption of isolation? Equipment and wiring insulation is bad, or used the wrong tool can cause damage to equipment (fire) and humans (death).
The risk of fire.
The main result of the interference current through the conductors or other equipment is not expected to receive a stream is an abnormal increase in temperature. High temperatures can cause damage to the cable or even a spark of fire in the material, then burned.
The risk of death
This occurs in humans and is also called "Electrocution". Electrocution is the flow of current to the human body, and very dangerous. Two current flow damage vital body functions : respiration and heart rate. The study states the risk scale based on two factors : the rated current and duration of contacts.

Leakage current devices provide two kinds of security :
