with the increased safety requirements discussed in the government Hackitt Report, there ismore call fofor using RCDs to detect and isolate products at the point of use to help prevent electrical fires, as well as helping to protect themain circuit and the consumer unit. Using socket RCDs at the point of source also helps to stop nuisance


Type A’ to ensure the product complies. GreenBrook has noticed an upturn in their Powerbreaker RCD business, with the changes to the 18th Edition increasing the use of RCDs in all public areas.With this amendment, together fe


30mA and 10mA trip currents in a selection of Passive and Active designs.Many people are unaware of the differefferences between Passive or Active proroducts and do not understandwhere best to usewhat!Here is an easyway to understand it... For Passive RCDs, a typical application would be a refrigerator or freezer that would return to their regularmode of operation as soon as the power supply resumes normal operation. Passive RCDs are also useful to use fofor sockets in hard to reach places where having to gain access to re- set an RCD would be tricky, however where protection is still required.


An active RCD is better used fofor electrical equipment such as hedge trimmers or power


tools where unexpected restarting of the


equipment could present a danger to the user in a power cut situation.


You will also see PowerBreaker offer both a 30mA RCD as standard plus a 10mA option. PowerBreaker 10mA RCDs are the super sensitive products. These RCDs trip earlier as they are more sensitive to a fafault current flowing,


ffe


breaking the circuit befofore the trip occurs further upstreamand takes out the nuisance to the consumer of the RCD tripping – oftften then ffa


cutting out other aultless items. These RCDs have been deemed safe fo


fer for use in areas with


young children, such as nurseries and schools but also fofor use in places withmore vulnerable people like hospitals or old people’s homes where a chance of electric shock, ormachine ffa


aults could be fafat would be advised


to use 10mA as all types of al. All public access areas


people can pass through these areas.


So we see that the degree of risk depends not only on current and time, but whether the victim is a child or a person in poor health. In these cases, the effe


ffects can bemore serious, so the need fofor RCD protection is even greater.


There aremany other PowerBreaker products available – fofor example, GreenBrook offe selection of spurs, in-line RCD’s and weatherproof RCDs.
