RCDs, also known as safety switches, are an essential safeguard in every home and workplace. They are designed to trip and shut off power the moment they detect a fault, protecting people from serious electric shock. A licensed technician will deliberately trigger and test your RCDs to make sure they respond quickly enough to meet Australian and New Zealand safety standards.
The faster an RCD trips, the less severe the shock a person receives. If the device fails to operate within the strict timeframe set by standards, the consequences can be fatal. That’s why routine inspections and testing are critical for maintaining electrical safety.
At O’Brien Electrical Dubbo, qualified and insured technicians carefully examine, test, and tag your RCDs. Their expertise ensures your safety switches are compliant with regulations and provide the protection they were designed for, giving you peace of mind that your property and family are safe.
