The Queensland Electrical Safety Regulation requires that all workplaces have an RCD (Residual Current Device) installed and tested to comply with the QLD Occupational Health and Safety Act. RCDs are commonly referred to as safety switches. The RCD monitors the flow of electricity and cuts of power if it detects faults that could lead to electrocution. Our electricians are experienced in installing and testing RCDs. Call us today for a consultation.
An RCD is your building’s electrical hub. All electrical systems run through it, so it must be installed correctly and tested regularly. RCDs save lives but will not remove the risk of injury if faulty or poorly installed. As such, calling a professional electrician to install and test your RCD is crucial. At BSE Services Australia, we have performed RCD testing in Brisbane for many years. We can help you install and test your RCDs regularly to ensure they respond correctly to faulty situations and in the correct time frame.
Our team has the expertise and the latest testing equipment to perform your scheduled RCD testing to ensure your business is safe and compliant. In most cases, RCDs need to be tested in an interval of six months except in construction work, which is more rigorous. We provide professional RCD testing services to all commercial customers in Brisbane, ensuring the safety of their staff and property.
RCDs are essential in protecting the people using them, as well as electrical systems and appliances. Regular RCD testing will help electricians identify when an incorrect RCD type has been used. Electricians can complete the testing using the test button on an appliance or fuse box. Alternatively, they can use a loop or RCD tester in a circuit. A correctly functioning RCD will cut power to the appliance or circuit being checked under certain conditions within a particular time. If this does not happen, the electrician can change the RCD, or there could be a fault in the appliance or circuit.
Our electricians in Brisbane can perform different RCD testing services. A trip time test measures an RCD’s time to cut power off when a fault occurs. A ramp test gradually increases the current flow to identify whether the RCD is functioning correctly and provides enough protection levels. Let us help you protect your employees and valuables.
