It detects the difference between the current entering and leaving the installation. If this difference exceeds 30 milliamps, it means something or someone is earthing current, and the RCD cuts off in less than 30 milliseconds. This is what prevents electrocution when a washing machine fault causes the metal casing to become live, and you touch it.

When to call for basic home automation in Sant Quirze del Vallès

The fuse box has ceramic fuses instead of modern circuit breakers. The fuse box has no RCD or only one main one protecting all circuits. RCDs trip frequently for no apparent reason, indicating they are old. The fuse box has fewer than 4-5 circuits for a whole home. Regulations require at least 5 circuits (lighting, general sockets, kitchen, washing machine, bathroom, and air conditioning). The fuse box is saturated and cannot accommodate more circuits for adding electric car chargers or other modern equipment. These two components are in all modern electrical fuse boxes but protect different things. The circuit breaker, also called an automatic switch, protects against overloads and short circuits. If you plug in too many appliances on one circuit or if two wires touch due to a fault, the circuit breaker trips and cuts off power. Its function is to protect the installation's cables and prevent fires. Short circuits, tripping RCD, burning smell, no power in the home. Response in under 2 hours.

Frequently asked questions

How many spotlights do I need in my living room?
For a 20 m² living room, 3,000 lumens total spread across 6-10 5W LED spotlights. We calculate on-site based on ceiling height and use.
LED or halogen for a wet area like a bathroom?
LED with at least IP44 protection. Halogen is dangerous around water due to temperature and consumption. LED is safe and efficient.
Can LED strips be installed in plasterboard ceilings?
Yes, in a recessed aluminium profile during the plasterboard phase. If the plasterboard is already closed, it goes in a semi-recessed profile attached to the ceiling.
Does outdoor lighting resist salt spray?
Only with IP65 protection rating or higher and suitable materials (stainless steel, UV-treated plastic). Standard ones corrode within 1-2 years on the front line.
LED warranty?
Manufacturer's official warranty of 3-5 years depending on the brand. Branded LED lights last 25,000 hours under normal conditions.
