A half day seminar on “Earth Leakage Protection & Nuisance Tripping” was organised by TEEAM on 3rd April 2017 at TEEAM Conference Room.

Earth Fault Protection is undoubtedly one of the most fundamental personal safety protections in the electrical system. This life saving protection principle has enabled leakage protection, extending to also providing personal safety protection. An RCD/RCCB, that is, Residual Current Device or Residual Current Circuit Breaker, is a life-saving device which is designed to prevent humans from getting a fatal electric shock if one were accidently touch something live, such as a bare wire. It (the RCD/RCCB) can also provide some protection against electrical fires in the final distribution circuits.

This important safety seminar focused on the RCD/RCCB implementations and the difficulties involved when RCDs/RCCBs are deployed. Ir Chew Shee Fuee KMN, who is TEEAM President, was the distinguished speaker.  He has over 36 years of industry experience in electrical controls and relay protection.  It was an enlightening and interactive seminar which attracted full house of 60 participants from the industry. The seminar truly benefited all the participants and each one of them received a certificate of attendance with approved CIDB CCD points and BEM CPD hours.
