Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between RCDs and circuit breakers?
RCDs (Residual Current Devices) protect people by cutting power if they detect leakage current, typically caused by contact with live parts. Circuit breakers, on the other hand, protect appliances and wiring from overloads or short circuits. Both are essential components of a safe switchboard. Modern Australian homes should have both, working together to ensure comprehensive electrical protection for your family and property.
When is it time to upgrade my switchboard?
If your switchboard has ceramic fuses, lacks safety switches, or trips frequently, it's time for an upgrade. Older boards can't handle the demands of today’s high-powered appliances and are often unsafe. A modern switchboard improves safety, adds capacity, and supports solar or electric vehicle chargers. Upgrading your switchboard ensures compliance with current standards and protects your household from potential electrical faults.
How do I know if I need more circuits in my home?
Signs you need additional circuits include frequently tripped breakers, flickering lights when appliances start, or limited power points in key areas. Modern homes with multiple high-demand devices often exceed the capacity of older circuits. Installing new dedicated circuits ensures safe and reliable power distribution. A qualified electrician can assess your usage and recommend solutions that improve efficiency and reduce the risk of overload.
