Personal protection on construction and assembly sites
05/13/2025
Personal circuit breakers on the construction site - safety first with brennenstuhl®
Construction sites are often places where craftsmen and tradesmen work under difficult conditions every day. Many have to connect their power tools to sockets whose functional safety they cannot check. Faulty electrical installations are not immediately recognisable and pose a considerable safety risk. Serious accidents can be the result. To prevent these dangers, it is crucial to ensure the right personal protection on construction sites.
Safe connection of electrical appliances - the PRCD-S ADVANCED as a solution
On construction sites, sockets with unknown protective measures must not be used without further ado. In such cases, the connection of electrical appliances is only permitted with an upstream PRCD-S. The brennenstuhl® Professional PRCD-S ADVANCED offers a particularly safe solution here. This extended personal circuit breaker has been specially designed for use on construction sites and guarantees a reliable safety function even under difficult working conditions.
See below for all the advantages and added value of the brennenstuhl® product.
PRCDS with and without cable
brennenstuhl® offers the PRCD-S in two practical versions - either with or without cable, for installation directly on power tools by a qualified electrician, in order to adapt flexibly to different requirements.

What are the advantages of using the PRCD-S ADVANCED?
The PRCD-S ADVANCED is a highly developed RCD (residual current circuit breaker) that not only recognises the residual current and interrupts the circuit in the event of danger, but also has protective conductor monitoring. This provides an additional level of safety to prevent accidents caused by faulty electrical installations.
The outstanding features of the PRCD-S ADVANCED include
- Switch-on fault detection (glove detection): The switch cannot be switched on if there is strong insulation, e.g. when wearing work gloves.
- Low-resistance protective conductor monitoring: Only connections with a resistance of less than 1 kΩ are accepted, which reliably detects and prevents high-resistance, unsafe contacts.
- Extended test functions: In addition to residual current testing, protective conductor monitoring is also tested for interruption and voltage detection.
- Operational readiness indicator: A red LED indicates that voltage is present at the output of the PRCD-S ADVANCED and that protection is active.
Safety and promotion by BG Bau
The brennenstuhl® PRCD-S ADVANCED fulfils all the requirements of DGUV Information 203-006 (formerly BGI 608) and is sponsored accordingly by BG Bau. This personal protection switch not only ensures greater safety on construction sites, but also compliance with the applicable safety regulations.
