The Benefits of installing type A RCD's/RCBO's

One important way to ensure this is by installing Type A RCD's (Residual Current Devices) or RCBO's (Residual Current Circuit Breakers with Over-current Protection) in your domestic property. Here are some benefits of installing these devices:

• Protection against electrical shocks: Type A RCD's/RCBO's can detect and quickly interrupt electrical faults that may cause electric shock. These devices work by continuously monitoring the electrical current flow and can detect even small imbalances in the current. If an imbalance is detected, the RCD/RCBO will automatically trip the circuit, cutting off the electrical supply and preventing serious injury or death.
• Protection against electrical fires: Faulty electrical circuits can cause fires, which can be devastating for any Bedford homeowner. Type A RCD's/RCBO's can detect faults in the circuit that may cause overheating and can quickly interrupt the circuit, preventing fires from starting. This early detection and prevention can save lives and protect your property from damage.
• Compliance with electrical safety regulations: It is a legal requirement in the UK to install Type A RCD's/RCBO's in domestic properties when carrying out any new Installation work where you are either extending or adding a circuit. By complying with these regulations, you can ensure that your property is safe and it complies with current BS7671 Wiring regulations.
• Ease of installation and maintenance: Installing Type A RCD's/RCBO's is a relatively simple process that can be carried out by a qualified electrician. These devices are also easy to maintain and require minimal upkeep, making them a cost-effective solution for protecting your home and family.
• Increased property value: Having Type A RCD's/RCBO's installed in your property can increase its value and appeal to potential buyers. It demonstrates that you take electrical safety seriously, and can give peace of mind to any future owners.

In conclusion, installing Type A RCD's/RCBO's in your domestic property is a smart investment in the safety and well-being of your family and property. It can protect against electrical shocks and fires, ensure compliance with regulations, and increase your property's value.
