Your portable RCD needs to be tested to ensure that it will respond to a fault situation and that it will also respond within the required time frame. Should it not trip in the required time, a dangerous and extensive electric shock may be delivered.

Can you use ELCB for replacing RCD?

An Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) and a Residual Current Device (RCD) serve similar safety functions by protecting against earth faults, but they operate differently. ELCBs are older devices that detect earth faults through voltage monitoring, while RCDs detect imbalances in current flow. Generally, RCDs are considered more reliable and are widely used today. Therefore, while you can replace an RCD with an ELCB in some cases, it's advisable to use RCDs for better safety and compliance with modern electrical standards.
