The Key Advantages Of Using Wireable RCD's or Safety Switches With Cleaning Equipment

The safety switch can't be lost, as it's always part of the equipment, and each time it's plugged in, it has to be re-set, an extra reminder that it's operating correctly! It protects ALL users, the careful and careless!!

Most specifically when working with swing floor polishers such as the

It allows the use of the appliance where power points are on LOW skirting boards.

Switches off the electrical appliance should it, or the protected cable leak electric current to earth before it can give the operator or people touching the machine an electric shock strong enough to disrupt the hearts rhythm.

Easy “How-to-use” Instructions are printed on the RCD, so they're always at hand.

About RCDs

RCDs or Residual Current Devices are commonly referred to as "safety switches" are electrical safety devices designed to immediately switch off the supply of electricity when electricity leaking to earth is detected before it rises to a harmful level. RCDs offer high levels of personal protection from electric shock.

Requirements for Residual Current Devices

From 1st January 2013, new legal requirements for RCDs in SOME Australian states and territories applied to workplaces where portable, or "plug in" electrical equipment, that is, electrical equipment supplied with electricity from a socket outlet, usually called a GPO, such as vacuum cleaners and floor polishers etc. are used in the following operating environments.

• Electrical equipment is exposed to operating conditions that are likely to result in damage to the electrical equipment, (or a reduction in its expected lifespan) including conditions that involve exposure to moisture, heat, vibration, mechanical damage, corrosive chemicals or dust.
• Electrical equipment is moved between different locations, in circumstances where damage to the equipment or to a flexible electricity supply cord is reasonably likely.
• Electrical equipment is frequently moved during it's normal use.
• Carpet extraction and restoration machines.
• Electrically operated pressure cleaners and pressure washers.
• Steam cleaning equipment.
• Electrically operated floor scrubbers.
• Timber floor sanding equipment.
• Wet and dry vacuum cleaners.
