RCD Testing Frequency

Mark Fleming

Hi All,

Where an RCD is contained within a piece of electrical equipment such as an EV charger, is it still a requirement to test the RCD every 6 months in line with BS 7671 or are the intervals now the decision of the manufacturer of the piece of equipment containing the device?

Regards

Mark

    You may want to have a word with Megger and Metrel then. And yes we do test them. BS7671 states an AC test is required for verification. But if you work for an authority or a public supplying company you will prove the device operates beyond 7671 requirements to keep possibility of anything litigious at bay.
