Today, relay contact and electronic residual current relays are used in order to protect human life against electrical shocks and machinery and equipment from malfunctions caused by excessive current. These residual current relays step in at 30 mA level and cut the current from the system. With the developed electronic switch and residual current device hybrid system, the human body residual current value and current cut-off response time were calculated using Monte Carlo Simulation frequency / intensity distributions. In the field of application, data sets were created in this study, which can be realized using physical and ambient data related to the human body resistance value. In this study, the reaction time of the system developed according to the amount of electric current, temperature of the human body, skin and moisture properties, shoes worn, decking, material type characteristics was modeled mathematically by using Monte Carlo simulation.
