What is a Safety Switch?
All homes built since 1992 must have a safety switch installed on power circuits - it is a legal requirement.
A Safety switch:
- is a device fitted to most household switchboards
- are designed to protect people and prevent injury and death
- monitors the flow of electricity through a circuit
- detect leakage from faulty switches, wiring or appliances
- stops the chance of current flowing to earth and electrocuting a person
- automatically cuts power in less than l second
- is your insurance against electrical shock
- is an inexpensive safety measure protecting you and your family
- also known as a residual current device (RCD)
A Safety switch is not:
- a circuit breaker
- a fuse
- a surge protector
- failsafe - check your safety switch, electrical wiring, appliances, extension leads and other electrical equipment regularly
Installing a safety switch is an inexpensive safety measure that protects everyone.
Other Types of Safety Switches
- Portable Safety Switches - used with plug-in electrical equipment indoors or out
Testing Your Safety Switch
