RCD leakage switch


Explanation:
I think "RCD漏电保护开关" is "RCD leakage switch", but I'm not absolutely sure. The word "protection" or "protective" is unnecessary.

leakage circuit disjunctor (RCD )


Explanation:
Another option, of course we have many other options such as: leakage protection switch, but only the "leakage circuit disjunctor" matches the abbr. RCD. BTW, the word DISJUNCTOR is derived from French word "disjoncteur" which means "circuit-breaker "

Sorry, the titled translation should be Residual Circuit Disjunctor (RCD), for the type-in mistake.

RCD earth leakage circuit-breaker


Explanation:
Still, found in my dictionary: "earth leakage circuit-breaker" for “漏电保护开关“， but these two links may give a bit more ideas.
