Electricity at home: switches, plugs, fuses and alarms, sentence 10
The fuse box, or consumer unit, has circuit breakers that switch off a circuit when too much current flows, and an RCD that switches off in about four hundredths of a second if electricity leaks, for example through a person.
Who acts: fuse box, circuit breakers, much current, RCD, electricity · What happens: have, switch off, flow, leak · To what, where: circuit breakers, circuit, four hundredths
This is a sentence of the lesson «Electricity at home: switches, plugs, fuses and alarms» of the technology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (fuse box, circuit breakers, much current, RCD), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
