What is an RCD and When is it Needed?
An RCD (Residual Current Device) is a crucial safety feature that disconnects power if it detects an imbalance in the electrical current, helping prevent electric shocks or fires. RCD sockets are required if the circuit they are connected to does not already have RCD protection. If your circuit is already RCD-protected, a normal outdoor socket will suffice.
What does IP66 Mean?
IP66 is an ingress protection rating that guarantees:
- Complete resistance to dust, ensuring no dust particles can enter the socket.
- Protection against powerful water jets, making it suitable for outdoor use in heavy rain or wet conditions.
