Is an RCD the same as a circuit breaker? Am I protected if i have a circuit breaker?

No. A circuit breaker protects the wiring by disconnecting supply when a higher level of current flow is detected than can safely be carried by the cable. This is often not fast enough to prevent electrocution. A circuit breaker and safety switch look somewhat similar, but the RCD is easily identifiable by the Test Button.

What is an RCD and how does it work?

An RCD is a device that immediately switches off the electricity when it detects leakage or flow of electricity to earth (or other fault path) i.e. through a human body, for instance. This happens within a few milli-seconds, much before electrocution can cause death. RCDs also prevent fire from faulty appliances by detecting electricity flowing to earth in electrical wiring and accessories.
