RCD Switch

RCD switches, which are also known as Residual Current Device safety switches, are the best safety measure for preventing electrical shocks and serious harm. Nowadays, a safety switch is also a compulsory part of any switchboard and ideally, there is one safety switch for each electrical circuit.

A safety switch continuously monitors your home’s electrical current – or more specifically individual circuits. If a RCD safety switch detects a fault in the current, such as a current leak, it automatically shuts off the power. This speedy reaction prevents injury. RCD safety switches can shut off power in an impressive 30-millisecond window, so you know they will work quickly before you can even blink.

Problems can be caused by a faulty appliance (hot water unit, heater, stove etc) or powerpoint, defective electrical circuits or various outside forces that can impact your electricity supply. One safety switch can make all the difference. It’s time to protect people from the dangers of electrocution.

At Mr Emergency we offer a wide range of RCD safety switches. We source and install any safety switch that we believe is right for your home.

Electrical systems can be unpredictable, so safety switches and circuit breakers are always highly recommended. Preventing electrocution is crucial for the safety of you and your family, so keep Mr Emergency in mind when you need electrical help and advice.

It’s easy to confuse RCD switches with circuit breakers, given that both are integral to electrical safety. But they serve distinct functions in preventing electrical accidents.

Here’s a simple breakdown:

A circuit breaker is like a vigilant guardian of your electrical circuit. It constantly watches for excessive current, which might be caused by, say, a short circuit or an overloaded appliance. When it detects such a scenario, it “breaks” or “cuts off” the circuit to prevent potential fires or equipment damage. Think of it as a bouncer that turns away unruly visitors at the door.

On the other hand, an RCD switch is more like a lifeguard, specifically looking out for stray currents that could potentially harm a person. If there’s a fault and electricity flows down an unintended path – possibly through a person – the RCD immediately trips and cuts the power, often in mere milliseconds. This avoids electric shock. It’s sensitive to even small deviations, ensuring that even minor shocks are avoided.

In essence, while a circuit breaker shields your appliances and property from electrical mishaps, residual current devices are dedicated to human safety, guarding us from electric shocks. Both are vital for wiring and electrical systems, complementing each other to ensure comprehensive protection in our homes and workplaces.

They constantly monitor your electrical system and can be relied on like the expert electricians at Mr Emergency.
