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 waters,
• made of best-quality materials,
• highly resistive to shocks.

No hole must enable inserting tool or finger.
A gate covering the circuit-breakers, when in normal conditions, is advisable.

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

Easy to recognize 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
• outdoors power outlets and lightings.
