The following is taken from an ITV report on a study for the

"The majority of new parents are failing to do enough to protect
children from electrical accidents, including relying too heavily
on socket covers, according to a study.

While 74% of new parents believe their home is safe, 62% rely on
socket covers and just 38% have a residual current device (RCD)
to prevent fatal electric shocks and minimise fire,
the survey for the Electrical Safety Council (ESC) found.
Given that ECS is the political wing of NICIEC you need to allow for a
certain amount of self interest agenda pushing here...


And that page makes the quote "RCDs cut the electrical current if there is
an unusual surge and offer better protection than normal fuses and circuit
breakers, the ESC said."

What is an unusual surge?


nearby lightning strike can trip mine

To people who know nothing, anything is possible.
To people who know too much, it is a sad fact
that they know how little is really possible -
and how hard it is to achieve it.
