Every electrical accessory, switches, RCDs, circuit breakers etc. will have been designed to perform certain functions, according to a common standard of manufacture, the British Standards and/or the European Norming Standards.

It is up to us as electricians to know what functions each device is intended to perform and to select the most appropriate device to do this safely.

This short video is intended as a guide to understanding the purpose of each type of device.

Is it an RCD for example, or what overcurrent protection will an MCB give?

Is it a three phase switch and what is the working current?

What is tripping current and what are linked switches?

We will discuss all these points in this video.
