A neutral safety switch works by comparing the current in both the active and neutral conductors. When the current in both the active and neutral conductors is not equal the safety switch will trip. This works on the principle that the active and neutral are part of a closed loop and if there is an inbalance then current must be leaking out of the circuit. This leaking could be caused by faulty wiring, moisture (particularly in unused heating elements) or by contact from human or animal (ouchy)
