    A residual-current device (RCD), residual-current circuit breaker (RCCB) or ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is an electrical safety device, more specifically a form of, that interrupts an when the current passing through line and neutral conductors of a circuit is not equal (the term residual relating to the ), therefore indicating to, or to an unint.

    Regulations differ widely from country to country. A single RCD installed for an entire electrical installation provides protection against shock hazards to all circuits, however, any fault may cut all power to the premises. A solution is to create groups of circuits, each with an RCD, or to use an RCBO for each individual circuit. In Australia, residual current devices have been mandatory on power circuits since 1.

    Hardware network security devices include

    Network security devices are hardware or virtual appliances designed to protect computer networks from unauthorized access, data breaches, and cyberattacks. They include firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, VPN gateways, and other tools that safeguard data across network. Network security devices provide automated functionality that can help stop network-based cyberattacks. These devices act as barriers between the internal network and potential threats from the outside world.


  • Relay protection devices protect circuits

    Relay protection devices protect circuits

    In, a protective relay is a device designed to trip a when a is detected. The first protective relays were electromagnetic devices, relying on coils operating on moving parts to provide detection of abnormal operating conditions such as over-current,, reverse flow, over-frequency, and under-frequency.
