To reduce the risk of electrocution, RCDs should operate within 25-40 milliseconds with any leakage currents (through a person) of greater than 30mA, before electric shock can drive the heart into ventricular fibrillation, the most common cause of death through electric shock. By contrast, conventional circuit breakers or fuses only break the circuit when the total current is excessive (which may be thousands of times the leakage current an RCD
