What Types of Appliances Need to Be Tested and Tagged?
Any device with a removable, flexible cable and not low voltage (not exceeding 50V) like extension lines, cords, and RCDs are eligible for testing and tagging. Electrical devices are classified as either Class I, earthed appliances such as kettles, toasters, or iron. Or class II, i.e., double insulated devices that have the symbol or the word “double isolated”. It includes most electric drills and hair dryers. In addition, no new equipment needs to be tested – only visually inspected and tagged.
What Causes an RCD to Trip?
Thunder and lightning are also common reasons for an RCD to trip. An RCD switch doesn’t fall for a voltage fluctuation, so electricity imbalance can trigger a trip. Other reasons for the RCD switch trip are faulty electrical wiring, safety switch myth busted, and much more. Here, our expert technicians help you perform the following tests: press button test, the (trip time) operational test, and testing of portable RCD.
How Often Should I Test My Safety Switch?
You should check the RCDs every three months to ensure that a safety switch continues to function. Still, it is essential to ensure that any damage to your electrical appliances, power wiring, extension wires and other electrical devices has been repaired. In addition, it is vital to discard any defective appliances while buying a new one. Overall, to ensure that your business and staff are electrically secure, contact us at 0400 876 386.
