RCD’s

An RCD (Residual Current Device) is a safety device that disconnects a circuit when it detects an imbalance of the electric current. If the RCD detects an imbalance in the electrical current, indicating a leakage to earth, it immediately cuts the electricity supply to prevent electrocution. RCDs are extremely sensitive, disconnecting within 10 to 50 milliseconds of detecting a leakage current. RCDs are required to be fitted at the meter box (main switchboard) or distribution board for the residence. For more information on RCD’s please click here.
