  • Abstract
    The ground-fault interrupter is the most successful device for eliminating the hazard from low-voltage electric shocks in the home, on the farm, and in industry. It is the newest of four recognized means¿isolation, insulation, grounding, and shock interruption¿for reducing the danger from electric shock and it is, by far, the most radical.
