Abstract :
An electric appliance should adequately insulate the user from the energized circuit so that he is completely safe from hazards of electric shock. It is important for leakage currents from such appliances to be below the threshold of perception so that any sensation of shock, however mild, should be considered an indication of a defective appliance in need of servicing.
