FAQs
What does the Masterplug ILRCDNG actually do?
It constantly monitors the balance between live and neutral current. If an earth fault or leakage (typically ≥30mA) occurs, it trips and disconnects the power within milliseconds to reduce the risk of electric shock.
Is the Masterplug ILRCDNG suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. It’s rated IP65, meaning it’s completely dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets. It’s ideal for outdoor applications, but should not be submerged in water.
Do I need an electrician to install it?
No installation required. It’s a plug-in inline adaptor for any UK 13A socket. Simply connect, test, and use.
Can it replace an RCD in my consumer unit?
No — it provides portable, point-of-use protection and complements, not replaces, fixed RCDs in your consumer unit.
Can I use it with EV charging leads?
Yes. It’s suitable for use with portable EV charging setups to provide additional protection. Always follow your EVSE manufacturer’s guidance, as many already have built-in RCD/RCBO protection.
How often should I test the RCD?
Press the TEST button before each use. If it doesn’t trip or reset correctly, stop using it immediately and replace the unit.
Does it automatically reset after a power cut?
No. It uses a manual reset mechanism to prevent accidental re-energising after an outage or trip.
