RCD Testing

Melbourne RCD Safety Switches installation and testing

Installing RCD Safety Switches in your meter box or switch board and testing them regularly is a small investment in money and time which provides long term protection for you and your family against serious injury and death.

RCD stands for Residual Current Device. An RCD keeps track of the electricity passing through the circuit to which it is connected. If the RCD notices any irregularities that could result in an electric shock or lethal electrocution, it will promptly cut off power to the circuit to minimise damage.

Although an RCD is designed for personal protection, the risk of electric shock may still be present. To make sure it is operating in accordance with the safety standards, it must be tested. GES Electrical has the knowledge and expertise to carry out RCD testing in your residence.

If you have an outdated switchboard or unsure whether you have RCD safety switches installed or you need them installed contact us and we can send a qualified electrician around to supply and fit your RCDs.

Why RCD Testing Should Be Done By Certified Electricians

The AS/NZS 3760 is a joint Australian and New Zealand standard that was developed by Standards Australia, describing the frequency, testing procedure, and in-service safety inspection of electrical appliances.

In order to comply with the AS/NZS 3760 Standard, evidence of correct completion must be provided. Here, your service supplier has to maintain a current results logbook.
