RCD Testing
RCD Testing
At CJM Electrical, we provide professional RCD testing services across Sydney to help businesses, schools, medical facilities, and workplaces stay safe and compliant with Australian Standards. Also known as residual current devices or safety switches, RCDs are critical electrical safety components designed to protect both people and property.
RCD Testing Solutions
An RCD (Residual Current Device) constantly monitors the flow of electricity. If it detects a fault—such as a damaged appliance, faulty wiring, or accidental contact with live equipment—it rapidly disconnects the power supply. This quick response prevents serious electric shocks, reduces the risk of electrical fires, and can save lives.
-
Type 1 RCDs should trip within 40 milliseconds.
-
Type 2 RCDs should trip within 300 milliseconds.
If your RCD fails to disconnect within these critical timeframes, the results could be catastrophic, leading to serious injury, electrocution, or even fatalities. That’s why routine RCD testing and inspection is not just a safety measure—it’s a workplace compliance requirement.
Even though RCDs are designed for protection, they are prone to failure over time due to:
-
Wear and tear from frequent use
-
Power surges or electrical storms
-
Faulty or aging electrical appliances
-
Poor installation or lack of maintenance
Without regular testing, a faulty RCD could give you a false sense of security, leaving your workplace exposed to dangerous risks.
