FAQs

What is an RCD?

An RCD (Residual Current Device) is a safety device that protects against electric shock by detecting and interrupting the flow of electricity to earth in the event of a fault.

What does Type A mean?

Type A RCDs are designed to detect AC and pulsating DC fault currents. They are suitable for many common applications.

Why is the 30mA rating important?

The 30mA sensitivity rating provides a high level of protection against electric shock. It will trip quickly enough to prevent serious harm.

How often should I test the RCD?

Test the RCD monthly by pressing the test button. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific guidance.

Who can install this RCD?

This RCD should only be installed by a qualified electrician.

What is the lifespan of an RCD?

RCDs have a long lifespan, but they should be replaced if they fail testing or show signs of damage. Regular testing is vital.

What should I do if the RCD trips?

First, identify the cause of the trip (e.g., faulty appliance). Then, rectify the fault and reset the RCD. If it trips repeatedly, consult an electrician.

Troubleshooting

RCD trips frequently.

Check connected appliances for faults. Contact a qualified electrician to inspect the electrical installation.

RCD does not trip when the test button is pressed.

The RCD may be faulty. Contact a qualified electrician to replace it.

RCD trips when a new appliance is connected.

The appliance may have an earth leakage fault. Disconnect the appliance and have it checked by a qualified technician.
