It measures the current difference between live & neutral. If live & neutral have different currents then it has to be going somewhere you don't want it to.

even very small differences will make it trip. Which is good as a small difference will kill you.

I, for one, am glad that doodab had the opportunity to google "do farts" before he died.

I wonder if the auto-suggests now are the same as they were then?
