Plug in 13A RCD Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker

Plug the adaptor into a 13 Amp socket and then plug your appliance or extension lead into the adaptor.

• Cuts power in 40ms when an imbalance is detected to prevent electrocution
• Test & reset function for safety at all times
• No need to wire up - just plug in & go
• Robust, impact-resistant body withstands rigours of a working day
• Essential for use in high risk areas

Particularly suitable for hedge trimmers, lawnmowers and other outdoor power tools.

An RCCB (residual current circuit breaker), sometimes called RCD (residual current device), is an electrical wiring device that disconnects a circuit whenever it detects that the electric current is not balanced between the energized conductor and the return neutral conductor. Such an imbalance may indicate current leakage through the body of a person who is grounded and accidentally touching the energized part of the circuit. A lethal shock can result from these conditions. RCCBs are designed to disconnect quickly enough to prevent injury caused by such shocks. They are not intended to provide protection against over current (overload) or short-circuit conditions.
