RCD Outdoor Spur Unit

Most people derive the RCD protection for their pond equipment from the use of an RCD plug or adaptor. While these are perfectly suitable from protecting people from the risk of electrocution, there is still a potential risk when it comes to the fish. Because RCD plugs and sockets are electrically latched, they trip in the event of a power failure to the house, and need resetting when the power is restored. This can be a problem if the occupants are away for an extended period, during which time the RCD trips. Additionally you can't use a timer with a RCD plug or adaptor - you can with a Powerbreaker RCD Spur unit.
