Editing Residual-current device (section)

=== New Zealand ===
From January 2003, all new circuits originating at the switchboard supplying lighting or socket outlets (power points) in domestic buildings must have RCD protection. Residential facilities (such as boarding houses, hospitals, hotels and motels) will also require RCD protection for all new circuits originating at the switchboard supplying socket outlets. These RCDs will normally be located at the switchboard. They will provide protection for all electrical wiring and appliances plugged into the new circuits.<ref name=acc>[http://www.acc.co.nz/PRD_EXT_CSMP/groups/external_ip/documents/publications_promotion/pi00311.pdf ''Residual current devices - ACC''] by Ministry of Consumer Affairs’ Energy Safety Service
