Prinzip der ***Fehlerstrom-Schutzschaltung***
Bei Körperschluss muss der Fehlerstrom gegen Erde so groß sein, dass derAuslösefehlernennstrom der Fehlerstrom-Schutzeinrichtung zum Fließen kommt unddurch den Summenstromwandler die Auslösung erfolgt. Der Erdungswiderstand derAnlage darf gemäß ÖVE/ÖNorm E 8001-1 maximal 100 Ohm betragen.

: See IATE, "residual current-operated protective device". The device idea is a good solution for the Schalter/SchaltUNG-issue.

Principles of residual current protection
I believe it's the theory behind protection rather than any specific devices...

fault current protection
This is referring to the concept as opposed to a specific device for fault currents.

ground fault circuit interrupter
In the USA, this is what this thing is called. The outlets are mandatory in every bathroom, as far as I know.
This link says:
The ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is a fast-acting circuit breaker designed to shut off electric power in the event of a ground-fault within as little as 1/40 of a second.
So, dropping a toaster into the full bathtub will no longer send Uncle Joe to his last reward, regardless of what you see in the movies.

The protective earthing measure can be problematic however, since the rapid activation of the overcurrent protective device requires extremely high currents, which in turn require the lowest possible earthing resistances. If stronger electric circuits are required, it will be necessary to resort to a Residual Current Protective Device. The strength of the release current is also dependent on the earthing conditions where the residual-current protective circuit is concerned.

The type of protection used is the residual-current protective circuit (tripping current 30 mA).

Ensure that the device is protected via a residual-current protective circuit with a rated residual current of maximum 30Ma.

Zwischenzeitlich habe ich auch eine Beschreibung dieser Schutzschaltung im Internet gefunden, die meine Aussagen (vgl. Diskussion) voll bestätigen:
VII Fehlerspannungs(FU)-Schutzschaltung.
Die Fehlerspannungsschutzschaltung schaltet den überwachten Verbraucher ab, wenn durch Isolationsfehler die Fehlerspannung auf 65 V ansteigt.
Die Fehlerspannungsspule F ist durch einen Schutzleiter SL mit den zu überwachenden Metallteilen des Verbrauchers (Motorgehäuse) verbunden. Die andere Spulenseite liegt über einen Hilfserdungsleiter D an einer Hilfserde RH. Wenn die Berührungsspannung zu hohe Werte annimmt, wir die Spule F erregt und löst über ein Schaltschloß den Fehlerspannungsschutzschalter aus und schaltet den Körperschluß ab. Die Abschaltung erfolgt allpolig; auch der Nulleiter wird, falls er angeschlossen ist, abgetrennt.

Btw why should one repeat "Schutz" in English despite the fact that breaking a circuit IS a protection - and that everybody knows that for sure?
