Basically, the switchboard protects your home from electrically
ignited fires (short-circuits).

Thanks to residual-current circuit breakers, now it can also protect
your family from electrocution.

For your safety, it must be:

• sheltered from any influence of water,
• made of best-quality materials,
• highly resistive to shocks.

No hole should allow insertion of a tool or finger.
It is advisable that a gate cover the circuit-breakers in normal conditions.

This specific circuit-breaker detects electrocution currents and cuts power off
immediately, before any damage occurs.

Easy to recognise thanks to:

• its white push-button
• its “30 mA” marking.

It is from now on compulsory on supply of:

• socket outlets
• all circuits in the bathroom
• outdoor power outlets and lightings.
