RCDs specifically detect earth leakage, which could of course be leakage through the body of a person who is grounded and has accidentally come into contact with live components or cut wires. RCDs are designed to disconnect quickly enough to mitigate the harm caused by such shocks. A miniature circuit breaker (MCB) at the
consumer board is an automatically-operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical circuit from damage caused by overload or short circuit. Installers have different ideas on where the extra protection provided RCD sockets should be installed, although of course any socket that might conceivably supply power for outdoor use should have built-in RCD protection.
