Reviews

"""This book would be of most interest to our readers who want to learn abot the operations and details of RCDs. It contains very good technical details and good discussions relating to applicable standardrs. Note that this book is exclusively focused on RCDs and does not cover GFCIs. Although the operating principals between RCDs and GFCIs are the same, the threshold requiremenets differ between international standards and US standards. Nonetheless, this is a very useful book for learning about these very important electrical safety devices."" --IEEE - Electrical Insulation Magazine"
