This short article is designed to explain the basics of what an RCBO does, in not too technical terms.
An RCBO is a type of circuit breaker with two functions.
To protect life To protect an overload on a circuit – overcurrent and short circuit
Electricians will install an RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent) [...]
South Devon electricians are concerned about the Health and Safety Executive announcement stating that site safety inspections in future will be reduced by one third. This will inevitably lead to more accidents as workers will be able to take more risks and customers demand cheaper prices. Health and safety at work is costly but accidents are far more expensive and [...]
What is an RCD?
Electricians install RCDs to prevent electrocution by detecting the leakage current. Fuses and MCB’s protect only the installation and final appliances; they are not designed to protect people from electric shock. The common misconception is that the voltage kills whereas in reality it is the current that causes a shock [...]
