Residual Current Devices
Residual
Current Devices, commonly known as RCD
Safety Switches, measure the time taken
for the switch to close, following a
current leakage fault being simulated.
All RCD's must be tested regularly in
accordance with the AS/NZS3760:2003.
RCD testing is an
important and sometimes neglected aspect
of AS/NZS3760:2003. Regular testing of
fixed and portable RCD's is required to
ensure their operation, should leakage to
earth occur in the workplace.
“These devices are
designed to save lives, if you have gone
to the effort to have these life saving
devices installed in your workplace.
Ensure they work correctly to save
lives”
At the appropriate time
we will perform both a "push button" and
millisecond test to ensure that these
devices are functioning within
appropriate standards. The information
from these tests shall be recorded.
If you
see the signs that require a safe
approach, ensure you follow their
direction.
