What is RCD?
An RCD (Residual Current Device) is an electrical safety device which is normally installed within a consumer unit or other suitable enclosure and is available in many ratings (A) and sensitivities (mA), the rating (A) must be selected to be suitable to carry the required design current, the sensitivity (mA) of the RCD will depend on what the desired function of the RCD is to be used for, BS 7671 sets out some min/max mA ratings.
