RCD Testing
RCD (Safety Switch) Testing – Protecting Lives with Preventative Electrical Safety
Residual Current Devices (RCDs), commonly referred to as safety switches, are a critical component of any electrical installation. These life-saving devices are designed to detect electrical faults and shut off power within milliseconds—dramatically reducing the risk of electric shock, fire, or fatal injury. However, like all safety mechanisms, RCDs must be tested regularly to ensure they are functioning correctly when needed most.
At AMB Sparks, we provide comprehensive RCD testing services for homes, businesses, and industrial premises across Greater Geelong, the Bellarine Peninsula, Surf Coast Shire, and Golden Plains Shire. Our licensed electricians are equipped with advanced testing equipment that verifies each safety switch’s response time, fault detection sensitivity, and reliability under load. We adhere strictly to Australian Standard AS/NZS 3760, which outlines mandatory testing intervals for various environments—from 6-monthly testing in high-risk settings like commercial kitchens and workshops, to annual testing in general workplaces and home offices.
Regular RCD testing not only ensures your property complies with legal safety requirements but also provides peace of mind for you, your family, employees, or tenants. A faulty or unresponsive safety switch can leave you unknowingly exposed to significant electrical hazards, making proactive testing an essential part of responsible property management.
