A GFCI/RCD only detects unwanted current returning from live through earth instead of neutral. So it won’t catch every electrocution risk. As for fuses/circuit breakers, they’re overcurrent devices to protect from fire, not for electrocution safety. The current required to trip a breaker or burn out a fuse is far, far in excess of what it takes to kill a human. |
