RCD ✅

An RCD is a small device that monitors the electricity flow and disconnects the power if there is a problem or leak. It's a life saving device that can prevent electrical shocks and fires.

In the poem I created and shared on my YouTube channel, I explain the importance of having an RCD in place and encouraged viewers to inspect their fuseboards to ensure they have one.

So I thought I would also write up a blog as well to make sure that the message from your local electrician in Corby gets to everyone to help them stay safe in their home.

RCD testing ✅

If you're not entirely sure if your fuseboard has an RCD, just look for a device with a test button. If you find one, this button should let you check if your RCD is working correctly. You should be testing this every six months.

Testing your RCD is a very simple task. You just press the test button and when it trips you turn it back on. 

It's a small action you can do every half year to prevent potentially dangerous situations.

However, if you don't see an RCD in your fuseboard it's time to call a local electrician in Corby or if you are in Kettering then a local electrician in Kettering to come out and check your installation as your fuseboard may be long due for an upgrade, and it is much better to be safe than sorry.
