30 mA difavt in the bathroom

Hello! Please tell me if I connect the c16 / 30mA difavtomat to a single outlet, where the water heater will be connected, which is in the bath, why it won’t work, in order to protect it from electric shock. You write that for single outlets you need a differential with a leakage current of 10 mA, what if I can’t get it anywhere, they sell at 30mA everywhere, as if it were taken out of production at all?

    Hello! Ideally, yes - it’s better to put a 10 mA difavtomat on the outlet in the bathroom, but if you can’t find one, it's okay, you can put it on 30 mA. A danger to human life is a current of 100 mA and above, so 30 mA can also cope with protection. In addition, a 10 mA mA machine with old wiring can often falsely trigger.

    10 mA - produced by ABB, Hager, Schneider (not China!) And costs at least 10 times more.
    "It's okay" for the Chinese, the rest with a leakage current of 30 mA muscle cramps,
    you won’t free yourself, and there the current passage time will run up.

    Yeah, who says that 30mA is okay, balabol, theorist ...
    I tested on myself TDM AVDT63 C25 i∆ = 30mA: “connected” in series to the circuit with an LED lamp 😬 - the lamp is on, I am shaking non-Padetsky (electroshock is not scary, but shaking)) .. sustained at the expense of time-I (1 sec), and machine as in a tank, zero reaction.
    For residential premises ONLY “B” groups from 10mA, especially for the bathroom / shower and kitchen - these may work, there is nothing to test, I could not find for sale in my city.
