RCD Testing Adelaide | Safety Switch Compliance by AGE Electrical Testing Services
AGE Electrical Testing Services tests residual current devices and safety switches for Adelaide workplaces. A visit can cover fixed RCDs in switchboards and portable RCDs on leads and power boards. Where the device allows it, the check includes the push-button and a measured trip-time test. The result shows how the device behaved under the test conditions. It is not a compliance certificate, and it does not guarantee later behaviour. Where in-service inspection practice applies, the checks follow AS/NZS 3760. That standard is not, by itself, a legal duty, and it is not a certification of AGE. For work outside Adelaide, see RCD and safety switch testing for Australian workplaces.
Trusted RCD Testing Services Across Adelaide
An RCD, often called a safety switch, is not an ordinary circuit breaker. AGE tests these devices for workplaces in Adelaide, including sites in the CBD, at Wingfield, and in North Adelaide. The test checks behaviour on the day. It does not confirm that the device will trip the next time it is needed.

Visual Inspection
A look at the device, its labelling, and obvious damage. This is not a full check of the installation.
Push‑Button Test
Pressing the test button can open the protected circuit. It checks the mechanism under that test. It is not the measured trip-time test.
What We Offer
If an RCD fails
If an RCD does not pass, AGE records the result and identifies the device. Repair or replacement is separate electrical work. It is not part of the test unless it has been arranged separately.
Other Services We Offer in Adelaide (SA)
Test and tag for portable appliances in Adelaide is a separate service: test and tag Adelaide. Thermal imaging, where a site needs it, is arranged through the national thermal imaging service. There is no separate Adelaide thermal page.
