In the context of Singapore’s commercial sectors, the electrical safety challenges are manifold. The dense layout of commercial properties, combined with the tropical climate, increases the risk of electrical faults that can damage equipment, interrupt or cause power shortages, and even damage or cause death to users.
RCD plugs offer a layer of protection that goes beyond what traditional fuses and circuit breakers can provide, making them an indispensable component of any commercial property’s electrical safety protocol.
Furthermore, RCDs are in compliance with Singaporean electrical regulations, ensuring that commercial properties meet the necessary safety standards. For instance, the Consumer Product Safety Office’s (CPSO) Consumer Protection (Safety Requirements) Regulations specify several specific requirements related to socket outlets with RCD.
