English to Dutch Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng TV user's manual

Hi everyone, this term appears in a TV manual, in the section on safety instructions during installation. Here is the passage:

'Failing to do so may lead to electric shock when a short circuit or overload occurs. If necessary, install a ground fault circuit breaker. Never ground to a telephone line, lightning rod, or metal gas pipe.'


I know that 'circuit breaker' can be rendered as 'stroom(onder)breker' or 'uitschakelaar'. I have also come across 'aardlekschakelaar' for 'ground fault interrupter', although I am not so sure if this is the same thing - in this context - as a 'ground fault circuit breaker'.

I would be grateful if anyone could explain the difference to me and provide me with the correct Dutch equivalent for 'ground fault circuit breaker'.

Many thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Ron
