Understanding Your Switchboard
Are you tired of dealing with frequent blackouts and power interruptions? It’s time to take action. Ignoring electrical issues at home is not an option, and that starts with examining your switchboard.
It’s wise to familiarise yourself with your switchboard – not necessarily to the extent of an experienced electrician, but enough to know what is what and where. It’s not just a single piece of equipment but rather an integral part of your home’s entire electrical setup.
When power issues arise, the fuse box or electrical meter box is where you need to look. This box contains essential components such as the switchboard, main switch, RCD safety switches, and circuit breakers.
Typically located near the front of the house, on an internal or external wall, it may also house the electricity meter.
Inside the electric meter box, you’ll find:
- Switchboard: This unit serves as the control panel for the household circuits’ power supply, housing the main switch and circuit breakers.
- Main switch: Acting as the master control, the main switch regulates power to the entire home.
- Circuit breakers: These protect fuses by preventing excessive electrical current distribution. They trip and shut off to halt the power supply, with separate ones often designated for lighting, hot water systems, and air conditioning to prevent overload.
- RCD safety switches: Designed for human safety, these devices instantly cut off power when an imbalance is detected in the circuit, reacting more sensitively than circuit breakers.
Each component can be individually assessed when troubleshooting power issues. However, at Upside Down Electrical, our experts conduct comprehensive fault-finding analyses of your entire electrical system.
We Can Replace Old Electrical Switchboards
When dealing with an outdated or faulty switchboard, addressing the issue promptly is essential to ensure the safety of your home’s electrical system.
At Upside Down Electrical, our team of highly skilled professionals is dedicated to providing reliable maintenance and installation services. Operating 24/7, across all capital cities and surrounding areas in Australia, we’re here to help whenever you need us.
Don’t hesitate to reach out if you encounter any of the following issues:
- Your switchboard still uses old ceramic rewireable fuses instead of modern circuit breakers.
- You’re experiencing frequent power outages.
- Your switchboard lacks appropriate safety switches due to its outdated nature.
- Blown fuses are a common occurrence in your home.
- The wiring in your switchboard appears overcrowded, posing a potential hazard.
Outdated household switchboards carry a heightened risk of fire and electrocution, as they provide inadequate protection against the high voltage frequencies they handle. Upgrading to a new switchboard equipped with circuit breakers and safety switches is crucial for safeguarding the well-being of you and your family.
