Residual Current Detectors.

 

These small units (the size of a double plug adapter) plug in between the power socket outlet and your appliance, distribution outlets or what have you. Residual earth leakage greater than 10 mA trips the adapter - that leakage could be the phase current path through you!

These units are much smaller and more convenient than an isolation transformer.

Protect someone's life - it could be yours, or your loved one's!

New Stock! Lower Price!

 

$15.00 per unit

plus $5 post and package = $20.00 per unit posted.
