Ensure Your Safety With RCD Testing And Protection
What Is RCD Testing?
Why RCD Testing Is Important?
The importance of RCD testing cannot be overstated. It is the first line of defense against electrical hazards, especially in areas where moisture or water exposure is common, such as bathrooms or kitchens. A faulty RCD can fail to disconnect power during an electrical fault, leaving you at risk of serious injury or even death.
By regularly conducting electrical safety testing, you’re not just complying with regulations: you’re actively protecting yourself and those around you. Circuit breaker replacement, switchboard testing, and electrical hazard assessments all work together to ensure that your system is safe and up to code.
What Are The Regulatory Standards & Compliance For RCD Testing?
RCD testing is governed by strict Australian safety standards. Regular electrical compliance checks ensure your electrical system is compliant with Australian Standards AS/NZS 3760 for testing and tagging. These regulations require RCD testing every three to six months, depending on the environment, as part of an electrical audit and testing process.
Electrical system evaluations, wiring safety evaluations, and electrical safety certifications all form part of these compliance standards, ensuring that your property meets the safety requirements necessary to reduce the risk of electrical incidents.
What Happens If An RCD Fails The Test?
If an RCD fails during the electrical safety check, it is a clear sign that your electrical safety measures are compromised. This means the RCD is not functioning as intended, and it will not trip in the event of a fault, exposing you to serious risk. In such cases, we recommend immediate circuit breaker replacement and a full electrical wiring inspection to identify the cause of the failure.
Ampower Electrical will ensure that any faulty RCD testing is promptly rectified, and we will provide an electrical compliance report detailing the required repairs and necessary actions to bring your electrical system back to full safety compliance.
