The regulations require RCDs to be installed on the main switchboard in accordance with the Electricity Regulations. acknowledged that the early RCD designs were Subsequent editions of the wiring rules has used by electrical utility companies as a means of increased the mandatory requirements of. An RCD 'Residual Current Device' is an electrical device that monitors the current flowing through either an individual circuit such as an RCBO 'residual current operated circuit-breaker with integral overcurrent protection' or multiple circuits within an installation using an RCCB 'residual.
