We ensure RCDs are correctly allocated across required circuits, properly rated for load demand and installed in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 (Wiring Rules).

Over time, RCDs can deteriorate or become unreliable. Replacing outdated devices ensures continued protection and compliance with current safety regulations.

We assess performance under test conditions to confirm that safety switches respond within required timeframes, providing confidence that they will operate when needed.

Frequent tripping may indicate faulty appliances, damaged wiring, moisture ingress or circuit imbalance. We identify the root cause and provide corrective action to restore safe operation.
