        Major Tech | Socket RCD Tester 230V AC | IEC 61010-1 CAT III 600V

        The Major Tech MT325 is a socket RCD tester that plugs into a standard 230V AC outlet to check the trip time and trip current of a residual current device. The MT325 reads disconnection time directly on its LCD to a resolution of 1ms, across six pre-set test currents from 5mA to 500mA. It carries an IEC 61010-1 CAT III 600V safety rating and confirms socket wiring status through two indicator lamps.

        Testing an RCD on the tools usually means proving that a safety switch actually disconnects within the time the wiring rules demand. A tester that is bulky or slow to set up costs time on every board and every callback. The MT325 is compact and lightweight at pocket size, and its pre-programmed test currents remove the fiddly manual dialling that slows a verification run. Wiring faults show up straight away through the correct-wiring indicator lamps before any trip test begins.

        For a working sparky, the MT325 turns RCD verification into a plug-and-read step rather than a setup job. The 0 and 180 degree phase angle selection covers both half-cycles without repeating the test. The 1ms trip-time resolution gives a figure precise enough to log for compliance records or handover paperwork. The Data Hold function freezes the trip time on the LCD, so the reading survives after the RCD cuts power to the socket.

        Features

        • Six pre-set test currents — the MT325 tests rated trip currents of 5, 10, 30, 100, 300, and 500 mA, with no manual dialling between settings.
        • 1ms trip-time resolution — reads disconnection time directly on the LCD to a resolution of one millisecond, measured across a 2000ms range.
        • Rated-current accuracy — trip current is held to plus or minus 3.0 percent, with trip-time accuracy of plus or minus 5.0 percent.
        • 0 and 180 degree phase selection — tests both halves of the AC waveform so the worst-case trip point is captured in one pass.
        • Correct-wiring indication — two indicator lamps confirm socket wiring status before a trip test, flagging reversed or missing connections.
        • Data Hold — freezes the trip-time reading on the LCD after the RCD cuts power, so the figure can be recorded.
        • 230V AC operation — runs on 230V AC plus or minus 10 percent at 50/60Hz, drawing power from the socket under test.
        • Double-injection housing — the moulded two-material housing gives the MT325 a firm grip and protects the body on site.
        • Compact and lightweight — at 130 x 69 x 32 mm and 130 g, the MT325 fits a shirt pocket or the top tray of a tool bag.
        • IEC 61010-1 CAT III 600V — rated to IEC 61010-1 measurement category III at 600V for use on fixed installations.
        • Fast Trip test — a 250mA fast-trip setting checks disconnection inside 40ms for a quick pass or fail on the board.
        • Single-phase 230V only — the MT325 tests single-phase 230V socket circuits and is not intended for three-phase or higher-voltage industrial earth-leakage testing.

        Where to use

        • Switchboard RCD verification — plug the MT325 into a socket on the circuit to confirm the protecting RCD trips within the required time.
        • New installation testing — verify safety-switch operation on final circuits during commissioning of a domestic or light commercial board.
        • Periodic safety checks — routine re-testing of RCDs on rental properties, offices, and sites where in-service testing is scheduled.
        • Fault finding — the MT325 confirms whether a suspect safety switch still disconnects, or has drifted outside its rated trip time.
        • Wiring confirmation — the correct-wiring lamps give a fast check of active, neutral, and earth at a socket before other work begins.
        • Portable RCD and lead testing — check the trip time of socket-fed portable RCDs used on tools and extension leads.

        The MT325 is built for single-phase 230V AC socket circuits and is not suitable for three-phase or high-voltage industrial earth-leakage testing. It tests RCD trip time and trip current only, so it does not measure insulation resistance, loop impedance, or continuity. Use it within its 230V plus or minus 10 percent operating range.

        Verified Sparky Direct customer reviews: Major Tech MT325 Socket RCD Tester (MT325)

        "Compact and ideal" — Steve

        (MT325)

        The MT325 is rated to IEC 61010-1 measurement category CAT III 600V. This covers testing on fixed installations such as switchboards and socket outlets fed from the distribution board. It confirms RCD trip time and trip current on single-phase 230V AC circuits.

        The MT325 needs no installation and plugs straight into a 230V socket outlet to run a test. Testing and verifying RCDs on an installation is electrical work, so it should be carried out by a licensed electrician or a competent person under the relevant testing rules.

        The tester runs six pre-set test currents: 5, 10, 30, 100, 300, and 500 mA. It also has a 250mA fast-trip setting and a no-trip setting at 50 percent of the selected range. Trip current is held within plus or minus 3.0 percent.

        The phase angle switch runs the trip test on both the positive and negative half-cycles of the AC waveform. This captures the worst-case trip point in a single pass and removes the need to repeat the test. The MT325 reads the disconnection time to a resolution of 1ms.

        The MT325 carries a 2-year warranty for both domestic and commercial use, starting from the invoice date. Warranty claims are handled by return to Sparky Direct, which forwards the unit to Major Tech's authorised service centre for assessment and, where approved, repair or replacement.

        No. The socket RCD tester is built for single-phase 230V AC circuits within plus or minus 10 percent. It does not test three-phase supplies, higher-voltage industrial earth-leakage systems, insulation resistance, or continuity. Keep it to 230V socket-fed RCD testing.

        The Major Tech MT325 is available online from Sparky Direct, with Australia-wide delivery to any state or territory including regional areas. Sparky Direct is an Australian electrical wholesaler established in 2005, supplying more than 500,000 customers with transparent trade pricing.
