FAQ ABOUT SAFETY SWITCHES

  • What types of electrical switchboards are commonly used in Perth?

    An RCD is a device that immediately switches off the electricity when it detects leakage or flow of electricity to earth (or another fault path such as through a human body, for instance). This happens within a few milliseconds, long before electrocution can cause death. RCDs also prevent fires caused by faulty appliances by detecting electricity flowing to earth in electrical wiring and accessories.

  • Are there any local regulations specific to Perth or Western Australia for switchboard installations?

    Yes, all electrical switchboards installed in Perth must comply with the Australian Standards (AS/NZS 61439 series) and the Western Australia Electrical Requirements (WAER) as governed by EnergySafety WA.

  • Can I upgrade my old switchboard in a Perth home?

    Yes, many homeowners in Perth upgrade their switchboards to meet modern safety standards, often replacing outdated fuses with circuit breakers and adding RCD (Residual Current Device) protection.

  • How do I find a licensed electrician in Perth to install or service switchboards?

    It’s important to hire a licensed electrician registered with Energy Safety WA. Solomons Electrics is a qualified and experienced electrical company licensed to deal with all Switchboard requirements.
