The ability to distinguish between a fault condition and non-risk conditions is called discrimination. ELCB manufacturers include: Legrand‚ Havells‚ ABB‚ Siemens AG‚ Areva T&D‚ Camsco‚ Telemecanique

just a nuisance variable to be controlled The placebo effect is known to be an unfathomable phenomenon. Nuisance variables are irrelevant variables. When present‚ nuisance variables increase within group inconsistency‚ making a treatment effect more difficult to identify. As group inconsistency increases control declines.
