an voltage stabilizers protect against electrical shocks?

No, voltage stabilizers do not protect against electrical shocks.

Here’s why:

Voltage stabilizers are designed to:

  • Regulate voltage (e.g., keep it within a safe range like 200–240V).
  • Protect appliances from voltage fluctuations, surges, or under-voltage.
  • Sometimes offer overload or short circuit protection for devices.

But they do not:

  • Detect or prevent electric shocks to humans.
  • Interrupt current flow in the event of accidental contact with live wires.
  • Act like residual current devices (RCDs) or earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCBs)—which are designed specifically to detect leakage current and prevent electrocution.

For protection against electric shocks, you need:

  • RCDs / RCCBs (Residual Current Devices / Circuit Breakers): These cut off power if they detect leakage current (e.g., someone touching a live wire).
  • Proper grounding/earthing of appliances and wiring.
  • Double insulation in appliances.
  • Circuit integrity checks during installation and maintenance.

Would you like help understanding which safety devices are best for home electrical protection?
