Safety Switch Testing

SafetyswitchSafety Switches, or RCDs (Residual Current Devices) are responsible for cutting power in hazardous situations. Electrical malfunctions can occur in a heartbeat, and may affect any electrical device in the home, office and beyond, including:

  • Extension cords
  • Power boards
  • Electrical appliances
  • Fixed wiring, and more

Safety Switches are the best way to protect users from dangerous electrical hazards by cutting power in the event of electrical emergency:

  • Safety Switch RCDs are designed to monitor the flow of electricity in a given circuit.
  • Under normal operating conditions, the electrical flow in the Active and Neutral wires should be equal.
  • If there is a fault in the circuitry or appliance, causing an earth leakage, an imbalance in the electrical flow occurs.
  • The RCD detects this imbalance and disconnects all power in under 20 milliseconds.

Why You Should Undertake Safety Switch RCD Testing

Responsible for saving many Australian lives every year, the installation of RCD Safety Switches is required by law. But installation is one thing. Appropriate testing and maintenance of your Safety Switch is another, and it’s just as crucial because:

  • There are roughly 15 preventable deaths that occur through electrical malfunction each year, and many more injuries.
  • So it’s clear that making sure your Safety Switches function correctly is a must.
  • It’s recommended that you test your RCD switches every three months.
  • Correctly functioning RCD Safety Switches are the only type that will protect your family and workers from a serious and grave threat.
