A switchboard is the central power hub for your property, regulating the flow of electricity to different access points. It distributes and directs electricity to where it’s needed without disruption.
The Australian Government mandates all properties must have a modern and updated switchboard equipped to meet the necessary electricity demand. Outdated switchboards with older wiring are a safety hazard as many of them do not have safety switches and circuit breakers.
In the case of an overflow, safety switches protect you from electrocution and fires by shutting off the supply of electricity. They also protect you from electrical shocks and damage to your machinery and appliances.
If your switchboard is more than 20 years old, it cannot meet increased electrical demands. Excess power loads can cause porcelain and ceramic fuses, common in older switchboards, to blow. On the other hand, modern circuit breakers trip as soon as there is an extra burden, stopping the electricity flow and protecting electrical equipment and you from shocks and electrocution.
These are only two critical elements of an updated switchboard. Others include wiring, panels, earthing conductor checks, additional connections, and 3-phase power switchboards for commercial properties.
Our licensed level 2 electricians offer switchboard upgrade services in Melbourne, using their technical skills and expertise to handle commercial and domestic switchboard installations and upgrades.
Our electrical switchboard upgrades begin with a detailed inspection and safety check before service. This allows us to identify electrical faults, damaged components, worn-down wires, and the need for any additional connections to support the electricity demand. The servicing process can take at least 3 to 4 hours depending on the property size and electrical requirements.
Before beginning the upgrades and removing old fuses, we ensure the main power source is safely shut off. Following this, new circuit breakers and RCDs are installed. Older wiring is replaced with brand new, insulated wiring, cut to size according to the power and current flows required for electrical devices and machinery. We also inspect the condition of earthing conductors and main earthing links, upgrading them according to industry standards if required.
Large-scale commercial and strata properties need 3-phase switchboards to adequately regulate the flow of electricity for heavy machinery and multiple electrical appliances. Our licensed electricians can install, replace, or upgrade older commercial switchboards for enhanced protection and a balanced distribution of electricity.
Lastly, we conduct 7 electrical tests to check that everything is working correctly and is updated according to Australian wiring regulations.
