APPENDIX A 

RESIDUAL CURRENT DEV

ICES (RCD’S) 

Also  known  as  Earth  Leakage  Protection  systems  an  RCD  is  a  protective  device 
that  automatically  disconnects  the  active  conductors  of  a  circuit  when  an  earth 
leakage current reaches a predetermined value. 
Although  RCD’s  are  mandatory  in  domestic  installations,  and  in  the  final  sub-
circuits  of  residential-type  areas,  the  Australian  Standards  quote  that  the 
requirement  of  an  RCD  does  “not  apply  to  a  socket-outlet…for  the  connection  of 
fixed electric cooking appliances, such as ranges, ovens or hotplates” 

In installations that are neither Domestic nor Residential-type, AS/NZS 3000 2.5.3.3 
states that RCD’s are needed only in situations where equipment may represent an 
increased risk of electric shock to the user. 

AS/NZS3000  2.5.2  gives  the  following  warnings  that  should  have  been  taken  into 
consideration when an RCD circuit was installed. 

 

To  avoid  unwanted  tripping  due  to  leakage  currents  and  transient 

disturbances, care should be taken to ensure that the sum of the leakage 
currents of electrical equipment on the load side of an RCD is less than 
1/3 of its rated residual current

To  avoid  excessive  leakage  current  causing  unwanted  tripping  where 

socket-outlets are protected by one RCD having a rated residual current 
not greater than  30mA, consideration  should  be  given to the  number  of 
socket-outlets  protected  and  the  nature  of  electrical  equipment  likely  to 
be connected to the socket-outlets. 

 

Tubular  elements  (such  as  those  used  in  this  unit)  reaching  temperatures  greater 
than 110°C are subject to moisture absorption and therefore earth leakage current 
generation.    Should  the  installation  and  use  of  this  unit  trip  an  RCD  the  unit  will 
need to be run on a circuit without an RCD (as mentioned above) for approximately 
30-60  minutes,  after  which  time  the  elements  should  have  dried  out  and  the 
machine should function normally.   If you are unable to locate a circuit without an 
RCD  please  contact  your  supplier,  or  if  you  prefer  you  can  contact  Roband  and 
send  the  unit  to  one  of  our  offices  where  we  can  run  the  machine  on  a  suitable 
circuit free of charge (a return freight charge may apply).
