RCD & MCB’S (See Servicing/
Warranty section for 12 volt fuse
ratings and locations)
This is for the 230 volt distribution RCD
(Residual Current Device) and MCB’s
(Miniature Circuit Breakers). The RCD
gives protection against electric shock,
in the event of an earth fault that would
cause earth leakage or earth directly
through the human body the RCD will
automatically disconnect the whole 230
volt supply. Only after removing the
fault will the RCD be able to be switched
back to the ON position. This is done
by moving the switch upwards against
the spring pressure and so restoring the
supply.
The MCB’s are designed to protect
both for the overload of each circuit and
also the short circuit. In both events the
MCB will automatically switch to the
OFF position and when the fault is
removed they can be switched upwards
against the spring to the ON position.
Both the RCD and MCB’s will only latch
back into position if the fault has been
removed. If these devices will not locate
back into the ON position consult a
qualified electrician.

needed, as long as the 230 volt supply
is connected. When you disconnect 230
