What Does an RCD Switch Do?
Residual Current Device (RCD) safety switches stand as the frontline defence against electrical shocks and serious injuries. In today’s standards, having a safety switch integrated into every switchboard is not just a recommendation but a mandatory requirement. Ideally, each electrical circuit should be equipped with its own safety switch.
Functioning as vigilant guardians, safety switches continuously monitor the flow of electrical current within your household, scrutinising individual circuits for any irregularities. Upon detecting a fault, such as a current leakage, the RCD safety switch promptly activates, cutting off the power supply.
This swift response is paramount in averting potential harm. Operating within an astonishing 30-millisecond time frame, RCD safety switches ensure rapid intervention, mitigating risks almost instantaneously.
Various factors, ranging from faulty appliances like hot water units, heaters, and stoves to defective electrical circuits or external influences on your electricity supply, can trigger problems. However, the presence of a single safety switch can significantly enhance overall safety, shielding individuals from the perils of electrocution.
At Mr Emergency Electrical, we boast an extensive selection of RCD safety switches. Our team meticulously sources and installs safety switches tailored to meet the specific needs of your home, prioritising safety above all else.

RCD Switch and Circuit Breaker − What’s the Difference?
It’s common to mistake RCD switches for circuit breakers, considering both play crucial roles in electrical safety. However, they fulfil distinct functions in preventing electrical accidents.
Here’s a straightforward breakdown:
A circuit breaker acts as a vigilant guardian for your electrical circuit. Continuously monitoring for excessive current, often caused by a short circuit or overloaded appliance, it swiftly “breaks” or “cuts off” the circuit to avert potential fires or equipment damage. Visualise it as a bouncer, ensuring only well-behaved visitors enter the premises.
On the contrary, an RCD switch functions more like a lifeguard, specifically attentive to stray currents that pose a risk to individuals. If a fault occurs and electricity diverts along an unintended path, potentially through a person, the RCD promptly trips, cutting off the power within milliseconds. This rapid response prevents electric shocks, as it’s finely attuned to even minor deviations.
In essence, while a circuit breaker shields your appliances and property from electrical mishaps, residual current devices prioritise human safety, shielding us from electric shocks. Both components are indispensable for wiring and electrical systems, working in tandem to ensure comprehensive protection in both residential and commercial settings.
Just as these safety measures diligently monitor your electrical system, you can rely on the expertise of the electricians at Mr Emergency Electrical to safeguard your home or workplace.
