Why This Is Dangerous

RCDs trip to protect against electric shock and potential electrocution. Persistent tripping indicates earth leakage or insulation breakdown, which can be fatal if ignored.

How We Fix It Properly

We'll use specialized testing equipment to locate the fault, repair damaged wiring or appliances, and ensure your RCD protection is working correctly.

Prevention Tips

  • Test RCD switches monthly using the test button
  • Replace old appliances with damaged cables
  • Keep electrical connections dry
