A Residual Current Device (RCD) is an electrical safety device designed to protect people from electrical shock and prevent electrical fires.
1. Earth Fault Protection: Detects and interrupts earth
faults, preventing electrical shock.
2. High Sensitivity: Can detect very small leakage currents.
3. Fast Operation: Quickly disconnects the power supply in
case of a fault.
1. Residential and Commercial Buildings: Used in electrical
distribution boards.
2. Industrial Applications: Used in industrial control
panels and machinery.
3. Outdoor and Wet Locations: Used in areas where the risk of electrical shock is higher.
1. Electrical Safety: Provides protection against electrical shock and electrocution.
2. Fire Prevention: Helps prevent electrical fires caused by earth faults.
3. Compliance: Meets electrical safety regulations and standards.
1. Installation: Proper installation and testing are crucial for effective operation.
