'''1) What is an RCD and why do I need it for my charger?'''
Our charger uses Residual Current Monitoring (RCM) to detect unusual AC and DC currents and alert the system, which is not the same as an RCD. RCM continuously checks for electrical leakage without stopping the power flow, whereas a Type B RCD actively disconnects the electricity if faults are detected, offering a higher level of direct protection against electric shock.

===== '''TeltoCharge Product FAQs - SPD Information''' =====
'''1) What is a Surge Protection Device (SPD) and why do I need one?'''
An SPD is a device designed to protect electrical equipment from voltage spikes. It's necessary for safeguarding all electrical devices at home including the electrical components of your TeltoCharge products from sudden surges in electrical power.
'''2) Are SPDs included in the package with my charger?'''
No, SPDs are not included in the package and must be purchased separately.
'''3) Should I use an external Surge Protection Device (SPD) with my charger'''?
We highly recommend using an external SPD to shield all electrical devices power surges. Without an SPD, electrical devices including your charger may be more susceptible to damage from surges, potentially affecting its function and lifespan.
'''4) What types of SPDs are recommended <s>for my charger</s>?'''
We recommend two types of SPDs: Type 1 SPD with a maximum continuous working voltage of 275VAC, and a Combined Type 1&2 SPD with the same voltage specifications. Both should be certified according to the IEC 61643-111 standard. Using an uncertified SPD may not provide adequate protection against power surges, potentially resulting in damage to your electrical devices.

'''5) Is surge protection necessary for maintaining the warranty, and what happens if a customer declines the surge protection option?'''
Surge protection is not a mandatory requirement to maintain your warranty; however, it is highly recommended to protect your charger and other devices from voltage surges. If you choose to decline the surge protection option, be aware that any damages resulting from power surges might not be covered under the warranty terms.
