Ensure the safety of your home office equipment

There are an ever-increasing number of people working from home. If this is your situation, pay attention to the electrical installation in your home to keep your electric and electronic equipment safe. Better safe than sorry, right?

When working at home, it’s a good idea, in addition to circuit breakers (which protect the electrical installation and shut it down if there is a short circuit or overload), to use an RCD and SPD, which should also be installed on the distribution board.

What is an RCD?
An RCD is a residual current device, which automatically shuts off in the presence of low-intensity electrical current leaks. This is something that an ordinary circuit-breaker is not able to detect. It ends up protecting people from electric shocks. This switch helps protect all residential or commercial circuits, especially in bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms and outdoor areas.

What is an SPD?
An SPD is a surge protection device, which prevents any high voltage surge coming from the street through the power cables and reaching the electrical installation, thus keeping electrical and electronic equipment from burning out. It not only protects against atmospheric discharges, but also blackouts and instabilities in the power utility company’s equipment, in addition to the on-off of major machines connected to the same power grid, such as elevators and air conditioners.

Tramontina has a full line of circuit breakers to help you keep your home’s electrical grid safe. Remember, always call a specialized professional to handle such issues.
