How RCDs and GFCIs prevent electric shock. Many people think a standard circuit breaker (MCB) protects them, but it only protects wiring. In this video we explain RCD / GFCI protection, how they work, and when they fail. 🎁FLUKE 1674 FC - https://amzn.to/40S50vi 👉 FLUKE 1674 FC Specification - https://tinyurl.com/Fluke-1674FC WHAT WE COVER IN THIS VIDEO: ⚡ MCB vs RCD -- Why a standard circuit breaker only protects your wires, while you can still get a lethal shock. ⚡ THE PHYSICS OF A TRIP -- How a toroidal transformer and magnetic flux detect tiny current imbalances (leakage) in milliseconds. ⚡ GLOBAL STANDARDS -- The difference between RCCB, RCBO, and GFCI (North America vs. UK vs. Europe). ⚡ THE "BLINDED" RCD -- Why modern LED chargers and EV chargers can cause Type AC RCDs to fail (Saturation). ⚡ LIVE BENCH TESTING -- We use a Fluke Multifunction Tester and an Oscilloscope to see the trip waveform in real-time.
