RCD Installation & Testing: Ensure Your Perth Home or Business is Safe and Compliant

At Switched On Electrical and Communication, we understand the importance of ensuring your electrical systems are safe, reliable, and compliant with Australian standards. That's why we're proud to offer RCD (Residual Current Device) installation and testing services for both residential and commercial properties in Perth.

The Importance of RCDs

RCDs are an essential component of any electrical system, designed to detect and interrupt fault currents before they can cause harm. By installing an RCD in your home or business, you can significantly reduce the risk of electrical shock, electrocution, and even fatalities.

In fact, according to Safe Work Australia, electrical accidents are a leading cause of workplace injuries and fatalities. That's why it's crucial for businesses to ensure their electrical systems meet the necessary safety standards.

What is an RCD?

An RCD is a device that continuously monitors the electrical current flowing through your home or business, detecting any changes in the current flow that may indicate a fault. If a fault is detected, the RCD will immediately interrupt the power supply to prevent harm.

Benefits of RCD Installation

  • Reduces the risk of electrical shock and electrocution
  • Prevents fires caused by electrical faults
  • Ensures compliance with Australian safety standards
  • Saves lives and prevents injuries
