The Western Australian Government has established new laws and regulations on the installation of Residual Current Devices (RCDs) and smoke alarms in homes before renting or selling the property. Landlords, home owners and property managers all need to be aware of their legal responsibilities when the property is sold or rented. It is also very important for any home owner to have RCDs and smoke alarms installed regardless of regulations.

The RCD safety switch installation specialists since 2000.
RCD fact sheet:
All home sellers and landlords must ensure that residual current devices (RCDs) are installed in accordance with the Electricity Regulations to protect all power and lighting circuits.
RCDs save lives
RCDs are designed to cut the electricity supply instantly if a person touches a live part and receives a shock. 30 milliamps from an active or neutral conductor to earth is enough to trip the RCD within milliseconds. By installing two or more RCDs, the property’s circuits can be divided evenly between them, ensuring some light and power remains if one RCD operates. Multiple RCDs also avoid nuisance tripping caused by appliances with low-level leakage currents. All properties constructed after 2000 should already have RCDs fitted.
Homes for sale
If you are planning to sell your home, RCDs must be fitted to protect all circuits supplying power points and lights before the land title is transferred. If two or more RCDs protecting all power and lighting circuits are not installed, you will need to engage a licensed electrical contractor to install them to comply with the Electricity Regulations.
Renting a home
Landlords must ensure RCDs are installed in accordance with the Electricity Regulations on the switchboards of their rental premises. If RCDs are not fitted, tenants should contact the managing agent or landlord and request that RCDs be installed as required.
Number of RCDs
The regulations require RCDs to be installed on the main switchboard in accordance with the Electricity Regulations. Two is a required minimum but more than two may be needed. A licensed electrical contractor will install the correct number and rating of RCDs to ensure your premises complies with the regulations.
Testing RCDs
All RCDs have a test button (the round blue buttons in the illustration) which should be pressed every three months as a minimum to verify they are functioning properly. When the button is pressed, the RCDs switch should snap into the ‘off’ position instantly.
Moving the RCDs switch back into the ‘on’ position can be done immediately. You may wish to switch off your computing equipment before doing the test. Timing devices and clocks will need to be reset.

What is an RCD? R.C.D or ‘Residual Current Device’ is an electrical safety switch. It should not be confused with a standard circuit breaker that will only cut off the power should a heavy overload occur. Only the RCD can provide an increased level of personal electrical safety.
How do RCDs work? The RCD safety switch assists in preventing electric shock by constantly monitoring your power. Should it detect a minute electrical fault from the active or neutral conductor to earth, your power is switched off in a split second. With no RCD wired in, that hazard remains unchecked increasing the risk of a fatal electric shock.

Multiple RCD Installation is Cheaper! When we fit 3 or more RCD electrical switches in a multiple format the price of the installation is reduced per RCD by over 30% making it a cheap practical choice to make. You will have a far superior electrical installation.
Get rid of the old Fuses! We fit RCD switches and NEVER wire them with old fuses. The fuses are removed and a combination RCD / overload protective device is fitted. Sadly we still see new RCD safety switches fitted on boards that are simply wired into old fuses – the job has only been half done. Porcelain wire fuses are not longer allowed, so why accept anything less? SafetySwitch electrical services will only use the latest RCD switches that incorporate overload protection technology. Say good bye to those old fuses forever.

We provide a FAST and FREE RCD FAULT ASSESSMENT when we attend to do any residential installation work and can best advise you on what course of action to take to repair faulty electrical wiring that causes your RCD to constantly trip.

Which RCD should you have installed in your home? We prefer to install the high quality single pole safety switch in the 6KA range. This is a fast acting, more compact RCD electrical switch which is a circuit breaker for overload protection and safety switch all in one removing the need for old fuses.
The benefits of Multiple RCD Electrical Safety Switch Installation. As this type of RCD electrical switch is more compact it also allows you to have the RCD fitted in a multiple format. That means installing an individual RCD electrical switch to each of the power and light circuits of your home or business. Should a fault occur only that one circuit will trip off. The disruption to your power and your business whether it be in the home or office is kept to a bare minimum as all the other power and light circuits remain on.
