水氣掣(residual-current device,簡稱RCD),係駁喺電路上嘅自動保護裝置,當漏電就會跳掣,以避免觸電。水氣掣亦叫漏電斷路器或者電流式漏電斷路器。
水總(residual-current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection,簡稱RCBO)即係水氣掣加埋電流太大或者短路嘅保護。
水氣掣嘅嘅原理係用電磁鐵量度火線同中線嘅電流。正常情況下,火線同中線嘅電流大細相同,方向相反,所以產生嘅磁場會抵消。當發生漏電,電流冇經中線返返水氣掣,就會有淨磁場,吸引金屬機械零件,令電路斷開。
水氣掣嘅水氣係電路嘅意思,同水汽嘅別寫水氣完全無關係。氣指電流,電流亦稱電氣。
