FAQs About Safety Switches on the Gold Coast

  • What is a safety switch?

    A safety switch (RCD) is a device that automatically switches off power when it detects electricity flowing somewhere it shouldn't, such as through a person.


    Its primary purpose is to help protect against serious electric shock and electrocution.

  • What does RCD stand for?

    RCD stands for Residual Current Device.


    In Queensland, the terms "safety switch" and "RCD" are commonly used interchangeably.

  • What is the difference between a safety switch and a circuit breaker?

    • A circuit breaker protects wiring and electrical equipment from overloads and short circuits.
    • A safety switch protects people from electric shock.

    Many homeowners assume they are the same device, but they perform different functions.

  • Do I need safety switches in my home?

    Most Queensland homes should have safety switch protection on applicable circuits.


    The requirements vary depending on the age of the home and the electrical work being undertaken.

  • How many safety switches should my home have?

    This depends on:


    • The age of the switchboard
    • Number of circuits
    • Existing protection

    Many modern homes have multiple safety switches protecting different circuits.
