Many older homes and buildings still rely on ceramic fuses for circuit protection. These simple fuses have been used for decades to provide basic protection. However, ceramic fuse technology has significant limitations compared to modern electrical safety options now available. While ceramic fuses were better than having no protection, technology has long since surpassed these […]
It is one of the most common points of confusion we encounter when talking to property owners about switchboard safety. While your switchboard is packed with various switches, sliders, and buttons, many people mistakenly think they all perform the exact same job. Two terms that are constantly mixed up or used interchangeably are RCDs (Residual […]
Get to grips with everything you need to know about RCD testing in our comprehensive guide. Discover its importance, understand the process, and learn how to stay compliant.
A residual current device (RCD) monitors the current flow of home appliances. If it detects an imbalance, even as small as 4-6 milliamps, the RCD will instantly trip to cut power. This helps prevent electric shock, as leakage over ten milliamps can be hazardous. The RCD provides vital protection where traditional fuses or circuit breakers may fail. Installing RCDs in your electrical system adds an important safety layer for appliances that could develop faults over time.
