Across
- 1. Abbreviation for a protective device that automatically "trips" in case of overcurrents or short circuits, preventing damage to wiring and equipment.
- 2. The purpose of this is to connect all metallic parts of an electrical installation together, creating an equipotential zone to minimize the risk of electric shock.
- 3. The action an MCB performs when it detects an excessive current flow, switching off the circuit
- 5. The fundamental purpose of this electrical safety measure is to provide a low-resistance path for fault currents to safely flow to the earth, preventing dangerous voltages.
Down
- 1. The presence of this significantly reduces the body's resistance and increases electrical conductivity, thereby elevating the danger of electrical shock
- 4. A dangerous outcome minimized by the process of bonding or heightened by the presence of moisture in electrical environments
- 6. Abbreviation for a protective device that is particularly important in locations containing a bath or shower, as it detects earth faults and provides additional protection.
