Type A Earth Leakage protection is essential for safety in electrical systems where both AC and DC currents are present. It safeguards against both sinusoidal and pulsating DC residual currents which are common in most modern electronic equipment. This protection prevents electric shocks, fires, and equipment damage caused by insulation faults or ground faults. Type A Earth Leakage protection ensures comprehensive safety compliance and reduces the risk of electrical hazards in various industrial, commercial, and residential settings.
