Electrical practices — construction and demolition sites fact sheet
All final sub-circuits of construction wiring must be protected at the switchboard where the sub-circuits originate by a residual current device (RCD), with a maximum rated residual current of 30mA, that
Low voltage electrical supplies for equipment on construction sites
When low voltage equipment is used on construction sites, precautions must be taken to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.
Electrical Safety on Construction Sites
On a construction site, the temporary distribution board should have RCD protection built in. You must test every RCD before use by pressing the test button, and have them formally tested at
