Are circuit breakers enough to protect us against electric shock?

I am not too sure, I have seen newer built building where the electrician did not install RCCB, or ELCB.
Maybe due to pricing, etc.

they don't install RCCB because of their shady work where the current difference is always trigging the RCCB

What most people don't know is, according to correct standard, if you are using inverter you are suppose to use second dedicated RCCB for it, your main RCCB gets bypassed when inverter connections are made.

So when you have power your main RCCB will work to protect you, in case main power goes out, the inverter turns on, then your second RCCB will protect you, in case you touch live and ground.

Do you know of a way to install RCCB with inverter where common neutral is used and not a separate neutral line running from the inverter.

I am not aware of any. But I am no proper electrician, what I know is, you have to use a dedicated neutral from the inverter to the switch board just like the already laid out live wire from the inverter.

So basically the equipment that you run on inverter will get both it's live and neutral from the inverter, completed isolated from the main power's live and neutral.

It is extra work. To get that RCCB working correctly with the inverter.

If you don't have RCCB installed already, there are RCCB plugs available which can be installed in electrical appliances which are to used live like geysers, electric iron etc.

Thanks for posting this. I was not aware of such thing.
