Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The Masterplug MSTARCDKGMP safety RCD adaptor plug simply plugs into the mains, and then you plug your electrical appliance into it. If there is a fault or a short in the tool you are using, the unit cuts the power very quickly, reducing the risk of electrocution.
The Masterplug safety RCD adapter continuously monitors the power supply to an electrical appliance and cuts off the power within 40 milliseconds if an earth current fault is detected. This is fast enough to prevent a fatal electric shock. This plug is an ideal way to protect yourself when using portable electrical tools such as lawnmowers and drills.
Electrical appliances can become dangerous if the wiring becomes loose, their power cords become damaged or if they get wet. Not only power tools and lawnmowers can cause electrocution--it is also possible if fingers, wet hair or other conductive bodies enter the appliance. In all these cases the Masterplug safety RCD adaptor is a must. RCD adaptors are the simplest way of power protection for in and around the home. Ideally, you would use an RCD adaptor with any electrical appliance. Please note, these products are not suitable for pond pumps and other pond equipment as when these are removed the installation is unprotected.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Critical for home safety,
By Louis Vallance "fs geek" (Sheffield, SY UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masterplug Safety RCD Adaptor (DIY & Tools)
Though many switch boards these days have RCD's built in, it's better to be safe than sorry, which is why I recommend you buy one of these. Just plug the thing into the mains, press reset, test, then reset again. If the red blinker disappears when you press test, you're good to go.
The RCD compares the amount of current leaving the device (to the appliance) against the current coming back in. If it detects a leak in the current i.e. electricity flowing through your body, it shuts off the circuit faster than the time it takes for the current to reach your heart. RCD's are essential when using lawn mowers and other potentially dangerous equipment. I recommend you buy one!

Great product,
This review is from: Masterplug Safety RCD Adaptor (DIY & Tools)
I got this for my 55 G reef tank and it works perfect, I got the RCD tripped once because my float switch was leaking electricity to the water, I put relay for the float switch and finally everything is fine but the RCD did a good job, the only drawback that I see is that it will not resume after power cut off and need to be resumed manually

Sensitive and Practical RCD,very fast reaction times.,

This review is from: Masterplug Safety RCD Adaptor (DIY & Tools)
Received one of these within 24 hours from Amazon using prime.
This unit is very very quick to switch off power to any faulty appliance connected to it and i tested it using a known faulty kettle - it provided an almost instantaneous off,must have been milliseconds in reacting and isolating mains! If you don't mind the dark colour of it on a white socket it really is a bargain with its specifications pretty much the same as models way over double the price. I have mine behind a unit that connects to a belkin surge-cube as well - so it's not on display - protecting me, my family and thousands of pounds of recording equipment. This is a small price to pay for total peace of mind with the dangers of electricity if a fault develops on any equipment we have. Orange indicator could do with slightly better visibility, but as for function absolutely no complaints. Highly Recommended - excellent value for money for a quality product that can be depended on.
