RCD’s (Residual Current Devices, also known as Safety Switch’s) are also required to be tested in Queensland as per AS3760. The testing involves two tests to be conducted per year. The first test being a push button test which ensures the internals react in a timely manner with no delay to the test facility. A yearly test can be performed by an electrician and or licenced technician. An electrician must have an observer (trained in switchboard rescue), the electrician can remove the switchboard cover and access all the relevant test points efficiently to perform the required yearly test.
