Regular RCD testing is essential to maintain the safety of your electrical systems and protect against electrical hazards. At GT HVAC & ELECTRICAL, we offer expert RCD testing services to ensure the proper functioning of your safety switches, also known as residual current devices (RCDs), which quickly trip in case of electrical incidents, protecting people and property.

Industry standards dictate that RCD testing should be conducted every six months, including one injection test and one push button test. Our experienced electricians use the latest technology and industry best practices to conduct comprehensive RCD testing. We identify electrical components and faults in your RCDs, providing detailed reports that highlight any potential issues or concerns.

Whether you’re based in Melbourne, Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, or regional Victoria, our RCD testing services are aligned with Australian Standards (AS/NZS 3760) and fully tailored to your site’s needs.

What Is RCD Testing?

RCDs (Residual Current Devices) are life-saving safety switches that detect current imbalances and disconnect power instantly to prevent injury or death from electric shocks. They typically activate within milliseconds, offering critical protection in homes, schools, construction sites, offices, and other workplaces.

RCDs must be tested regularly to confirm they’re functioning correctly. WorkSafe Victoria, Safe Work Australia, and OHS guidelines mandate routine testing to reduce risks and comply with electrical safety regulations.

Our RCD Testing Services Include:

Push-button testing and trip time measurement
Manual and automated testing cycles
Verification of disconnection times
Detailed test records and compliance documentation
Assessment of socket outlets and portable appliances
Fault detection and isolation of abnormalities
On-site reporting and rectification recommendations

We offer scheduled, monthly, six-monthly, or custom intervals based on your environment, equipment type, and risk level. Whether you’re managing a construction site, office, rental property, or hospital, we tailor our testing schedule to your exact needs.

How Often Should RCD Testing Be Done?

Testing frequency can vary depending on your environment and industry. For example:

Construction sites – every 3 months
Workplaces – every 6 to 12 months
Residential rental properties – as required under state tenancy laws
Healthcare and aged care – more frequently due to risk level

We provide tailored advice based on your property’s risk profile and compliance obligations.
