A beautiful pergola is a guarantee of aesthetic pleasure. You can decorate it with luminous lanterns so that it is as bright in the evening as it is during the day. Nevertheless, it is important to remember that any contact with electricity leads to a fire hazard. For this, it is never too late to have a fuse box with an RCD (more information on energynorth.uk).
What is RCD
RCD is one of the main things in the protective automation of current electrical networks. The device switches electrical circuits and protects them from currents that flow through conductive paths that are undesirable under standard conditions. This will increase the chances that your home or business will be protected from fires and no one will be harmed by the discharge of current.
Why install an RCD
Many consumers have heard about the existence of such a miracle device as an RCD, but not everyone knows what it is for. It is possible to understand the general principles of the functioning of the unit even without deep knowledge in electricity. Until recently, RCDs were not used in residential buildings. However, nowadays everything has changed, and now devices are found in apartments, so it is worth learning more about them.
RCDs are installed in order to prevent current leakage, leading to ignition of wiring and fires. In addition, the RCD will protect you from electric shock, which can lead to significant health problems or death when in contact with bare wires and conductive sections of electrical equipment.
