Note from asker:
Hi Mehenoum, thank you for your swift reply. But is not a diffrential circuit breaker known as "disjoncteur différentiel". As per the link given by you it says "outlet circuit breaker" Appreciate your help.
Peer comment(s):

agree Terry Richards : the term itself doesn't say differential but the context text makes it clear that it is.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Many thanks Mehenoun. Going with "outlet circuit breaker" (was in the hidden link).The context further down makes it clear that the CB has differential feature (as Terry rightly pointed out). Thanks again Terry!"
