It automatically disconnect the power when an earth leakage current reaches a preset value. RCDs with a sensitivity of 30mA is designed to operate before fibrillation of heart occurs.

Rcd Schematic Diagram

An RCD (residual current device) is a safety mechanism that detects any imbalance in the supply of electricity and automatically cuts the power if it detects any danger.

INSPECTION AND TESTING OF ELECTRICAL INSTALLATIONS

An RCD is a protective device used to automatically disconnect the electrical supply when an imbalance is detected between live conductors. In the case of a single-phase circuit, the device monitors the
