We call it Earth Leakage over here. Trips the main switch if any leakage
to earth (ground) is detected. Can only work with a 3-pin plug. If you
have an appliance with one of those 2-pin plugs you potentially have no
protection. Appliances with 2-pin plugs are supposed to be double
earthed & have all plastic bodies. Like in NZ, a plug may not be near a
sink or in a bathroom or shower. Stick to the rules & be safe. To be
safe, stand by generators should have an earth leakage unit on the
outlet unless they feed the house through a board with such a unit. They
started installing earth leakage units here in the 1960's after a
housewife was electrocuted by a washing machine.

If you look between the plugs, you will note two small rectangles. These
are "ground fault" outlets, designed for use near water sources and quite
safe.

I think it would be illegal to have electrical sockets that close to a
sink here.
