Discover the Best RCDs at Electrical2Go
When it comes to safeguarding your electrical installations, Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are essential components. Electrical2Go offers a diverse range of RCDs, tailored to fit various needs for both commercial and residential projects.
What are RCDs?
Residual Current Devices (RCDs) are safety devices that automatically disconnect the electrical supply when they detect an imbalance between live and neutral currents. This imbalance may indicate a leakage current—often due to faulty wiring or equipment—that poses a risk of electric shock or fire. By swiftly cutting off the power, RCDs prevent potential hazards and ensure a safer electrical environment.

Frequently Asked RCD Questions
What is the difference between an RCD and an RCCB?
An RCD not only detects imbalances in the current but also provides overcurrent protection. An RCCB only provides protection against residual current.
What current ratings are available?
Current ratings vary by product and brand but commonly range from 16A to 100A.
How do I know which 'Pole' to choose?
Single Pole devices are suitable for straightforward systems. Double Pole devices are for systems that need simultaneous disconnection of live and neutral wires. Triple Pole devices manage three separate circuits, ideal for more complex systems.
Which brand is the most reliable?
All brands we carry are trustworthy and compliant with UK standards. Your choice may depend on specific features or current ratings that you need.
Can I install these devices myself?
For safety reasons, we highly recommend professional installation of RCDs.
