What is a Residual Current Device (RCD)?

An RCD (Residual Current Device) is the most crucial electrical safety device installed to prevent electrical injuries and fatalities. It provides personal protection against electrocution should someone touch something live. Unlike standard fuses and circuit breakers, the RCD's primary role is protecting people.

These essential devices must be tested regularly to ensure they remain fully functional for the safety of all people and electronic equipment.
