The SPARES2GO RCD Safety Plug is an essential electrical accessory for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to enhance electrical safety in environments where risks of moisture or accidental contact are present. Its primary benefit is the rapid, double-pole automatic disconnection of power during a fault, which helps prevent electric shocks and electrical fires; however, it is important to note that these plugs are designed for temporary or supplementary protection and should not replace a hardwired RCD consumer unit where required by local building regulations.

Yes, it is excellent for lawnmowers and garden tools, provided the RCD plug itself is kept in a dry location and not exposed to direct rainfall.
It means the plug disconnects the power in 0.03 seconds, which is fast enough to prevent a dangerous level of current passing through the human body.
No, this is a 'plug-and-play' device that requires no wiring or professional installation.
It is compatible with all standard UK 3-pin appliances that require 13A or less.
It is good practice to press the 'Test' button before each use to ensure the safety mechanism is active.
This often indicates a fault with the appliance itself. Try plugging in a different known-working device to determine if the issue is with the appliance or the safety plug.
Check that the wall socket is powered on. If it still fails to engage, the unit may be faulty or the circuit may have a ground fault present.
Setting up the SPARES2GO RCD plug is straightforward: simply insert the safety plug into your wall socket, then plug your appliance into the socket on the front of the RCD unit. Press the 'Reset' button to engage the circuit. It is recommended to press the 'Test' button periodically to ensure the internal mechanism is functioning correctly. Keep the plug away from direct exposure to rain or water spray; while it is designed to protect against electric faults, the unit itself is not classified as waterproof. Clean only with a dry, lint-free cloth and ensure the pins remain clear of dust and debris to maintain a proper electrical connection.
