RCD circuit breakers, also known as safety switches, are essential safety devices designed to protect you and your family from fatal electrical shocks. They continuously monitor the flow of electricity through a circuit and instantly cut off power if a live electrical component is touched or electricity flows along an unintended path. This rapid action can prevent serious injury and, in many cases, save lives.
As required by South Australian Government regulations, all new homes and any amended electrical circuits must have an RCD circuit breaker installed. These residual current devices act as lifesaving tools, quickly shutting off electricity if an appliance develops a fault or if current flows unexpectedly to earth. By doing so, they also help reduce the risk of electrical fires, promoting a high level of safety within your home. At Aquila Electrical, we recommend that all Adelaide residences install RCD circuit breakers to ensure maximum protection.
Installing RCD circuit breakers provides numerous benefits that go beyond compliance, including:
1)Protection against electric shock: Rapidly disconnects electricity if a fault is detected.
2)Prevention of electrical fires: Minimises risks caused by faulty wiring or damaged appliances.
3)Regulatory compliance: Meets South Australian safety standards for new and upgraded electrical circuits.
4)Cost-effective safety: Reduces potential repair and insurance costs from electrical hazards.
