Photo source: Lunghammer - Styrian University Conference. By Philipp Jarke The duo from the Institute of Electrical Power Systems at TU Graz explained the function of residual current circuit breakers and impressed the audience with their elaborate props and dry humour. Seven scientists took to the stage on Friday evening in the Alumni Lecture Theatre at the University of Graz to present their field of research to the audience - in a way that was both entertaining and easy to understand. Daniel Herbst and Martin Fürnschuß had brought along a bathtub and a display dummy to demonstrate what happens when a running hairdryer falls into the water. Daniel Herbst gave the classical scientific answer: "It depends." If the electrical cables in the bathroom are properly installed, a so-called residual current circuit breaker immediately interrupts the electrical circuit.
