About Course

A residual current device can cut off the supply fast enough to prevent a fatal electric shock in many situations – but only if it is the right type, fitted in the right place and regularly tested. This course explains how RCDs work, when to use them, their limits, and how to test and maintain them, based on HSE guidance.
