RCDs and Hard Wired Smoke Detectors

Safety switches (Residual current devices or RCD’s) provide an important defense against electric shock and injury, and are now mandatory in all new homes. A safety switch is designed to immediately switch the power off when harmful levels of electricity leak to earth. Safety switches generally operate within 10 to 50 milliseconds. New legislation also stipulates that hard wired smoke detectors must be fitted in all existing and new residential buildings. Smoke detectors are connected to the mains power supply and also have a battery backup in case of power failure.
