Safety Switch (RCD) Testing
Safety switches (RCDs) save lives by cutting power in milliseconds if they detect an electrical fault. All properties must have them installed and working.
Why Safety Switch Testing Matters
Safety switches can fail over time, leaving you unprotected. Regular testing ensures they'll trip when needed. We test all safety switches in your property and provide certification.
- Australian Standard AS/NZS 3760 compliance
- Test all RCDs in switchboard
- Verify trip times meet specifications
- Check for correct coverage of circuits
- Identify missing protection
- Provide recommendations for upgrades
When You Need RCD Testing
- Buying or selling a property
- Renting out a property
- Insurance requirements
- Workplace safety compliance
- After switchboard repairs
- Every 1-2 years for peace of mind
- If you suspect they're not working
Did you know? Many older homes don't have safety switches on all circuits. We can identify gaps in your protection and recommend cost-effective solutions.
