In-Line RCD Option – Added Protection for Peace of Mind

You can choose this cable with or without an In-line RCD (Residual Current Device). An RCD constantly monitors the flow of electricity and instantly disconnects the supply if a fault to earth is detected – helping to prevent electric shock or fire risk.

When to choose the In-line RCD version: Ideal for older caravans, motorhomes or tents without a built-in RCD breaker, or when you’re unsure how well a foreign site hook-up is maintained. It adds a valuable extra layer of safety by tripping instantly on fault detection.

When the non-RCD version is suitable: Most modern caravans and motorhomes already have built-in RCD protection in their consumer unit. If you’re confident your installation includes this safeguard and the site supply is RCD-protected, the standard lead is sufficient.

Whichever you choose, every MotorCables lead is fully tested and clearly labelled so you can connect with confidence wherever you travel.
