<p>An earth leakage-current protection system comprises a first and a second earth leakage-current detecting means ELB3, ELB2. The first is electrically connected to a load and has a characteristic of sensitivity current vs. frequency which varies with values each below the threshold value having a predetermined characteristic of sensitivity current vs. frequency which is defined for the purpose of protection of the human body. The second has a frequency-characteristic of sensitivity current vs. frequency represented by values each larger than each value indicative of the characteristic of the first earth leakage-current detecting means. When the earth leakage current of a frequency higher than the commercial frequency flows, the first earth leakage-current detecting means is first activated so as to break the earth leakage current which is danger to the human body. The second earth leakage-current detecting means can make a protection coordination with respect to the earth leakage current. <IMAGE></p>
