Abstract
Paper presents measures of protection against electric shock in low-voltage electrical systems in the aspect of their ineffectiveness in relation to selected situations. The first part of the article describes reasons for preventing the flow of electric current through the human body. Simultaneously it is described methods of preventing of negative effects of electrical current on electrical devices users in installations with voltage up to 1 kV. The final part of the paper contains a list of cases in which the protection measures are ineffective. It is also included an analysis of the causes of accidents.
