Earthing and short-circuit devices are part of the category of equipment and means of electric shock protection, and their purpose is to protect workers in the event of an accidental voltage in the work area while doing electrical installation work. The purpose of this study is to convey the findings of research into the level of safety that these devices must provide, not only in terms of electrodynamic and electro thermal consequences that occur during a short-circuit, but also in terms of mechanical, chemical, and environmental aspects. The study's risk analysis of safety performance provides critical information for earthing and shortcircuiting device manufacturers to ensure the safety function throughout their use, as well as for workers to pick, use, and maintain.
