RCD and 3-Phase Testing

What is RCD?

Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are designed to quickly cut an electricity supply and prevent an electric shock. Sometimes called safety switches, these can be fixed or portable and should be used at your workplace for safety reasons.

What is a 3-phase appliance?

3-phase appliances use a higher than standard voltage and draw a higher current, which can raise the risk of an electrical incident in your workshop, factory or other commercial facility. Testing is essential to check for damage and defects.

Tick the box for workplace safety compliance

Test and Tag Sydney Wide will visit your premises to ensure your RCDs and 3-phase devices comply with the NSW requirements. Our technicians use specialist equipment, share reports with you and keep a copy in our system as a backup.

What are the signs that a Residual Current Device needs testing?

Signs that an RCD needs testing include constant ‘trips’ where your electricity cuts out. If it takes several tries to reset your RCD or if it trips out again in a matter of minutes, contact Test and Tag Sydney Wide to book an inspection.

What are the signs a 3-phase appliance needs testing?

Buzzing sounds, overheating, snapping or clicking sounds may signal electrical issues or power supply problems and indicate that your device needs to be tested and potentially replaced.

Is RCD and 3-phase testing required by law?

In NSW, electrical equipment must be regularly inspected and tested by a professional who is trained to identify damage and detect electrical faults. Regular testing of RCD and 3-phase devices can help comply with these safety regulations and prevent potential penalties.
