A Residual Current Device (RCD) can function without proper earthing, but its effectiveness and safety are compromised. RCDs rely on detecting imbalances in the electrical current, and without a proper earth connection, there’s a risk of failure to trip in the event of a fault. This could lead to hazardous situations, such as electric shocks or fires. Therefore, proper earthing is essential for RCDs to operate safely and reliably.

· Basic protection is insulation, barriers, enclosures, placing out of reach and SELV/FELV/PELV. Fault protection is use of RCD's, earthing etc.
How will a 3 phase rcd work with no neutral?
a traditional rcd wont work as it uses the difference between the incoming active and neutral to detect current loss it has to read 0. In particular, an RCD alone will not detect overload conditions, phase to neutral short circuits or phase to short circuits. Over-current protection must be provided.

How do you check the residual current device is connected to your power tool?
To check if the residual current device (RCD) is connected to your power tool, first ensure the tool is plugged into an outlet protected by the RCD. Next, test the RCD by pressing the "Test" button; it should trip and cut off power if functioning correctly. After testing, reset the RCD and verify that the power tool operates when plugged in. If the tool does not work or the RCD does not trip, consult an electrician for further inspection.
