How quickly should a Fixed RCD in my Switchboard trip?

Sarah Allen

AS/NZS 3760:2022 specifies the maximum “trip time” a RCD must switch off the power to the circuit along with the recommended frequency of testing.

  • Type 1 RCD’s shall trip at no greater than 40 milliseconds at a test current of 10mA a.c.
  • Type 2 RCD’s shall trip at no greater than 300 milliseconds at a test current of 30mA a.c.

ATS have detailed information on your RCD testing requirements on our RCD testing page.
