Your RCDs are your last line of defence against electric shock. We test trip sensitivity, response times, and circuit discrimination to ensure your residual current devices will protect you when it matters most.

RCDs must trip within 300ms at their rated residual current and within 40ms at 5x rating. We use professional RCD testers to verify trip times, check for nuisance tripping causes, and test selective discrimination between upstream and downstream devices. If your RCDs are outdated, slow, or incorrectly rated, we advise on upgrades to modern RCBOs or type-specific RCDs (Type A, F, or B) for enhanced protection against DC fault currents and variable speed drives.

Frequently Asked Questions — RCD Testing

How often should RCDs be tested?
You should press the test button monthly. Professional testing is recommended annually or during an EICR. Landlords must have them tested as part of the 5-yearly EICR.
Why does my RCD trip when it rains?
This usually indicates moisture ingress in outdoor circuits, damaged cable insulation, or a faulty appliance. We trace the affected circuit and fix the underlying fault.
What is the difference between Type A and AC RCDs?
Type AC RCDs detect AC fault currents only. Type A also detects pulsating DC, which is essential for modern appliances with variable speed drives, EV chargers, and heat pumps. We recommend Type A as a minimum.
