15.01.2022 Trying to conquer the hard task of maintaining the upper hand on administrative duties

07.01.2022 Some Electrical FAQ for a Thu afternoon! What is a safety switch? Safety switches are insurance against electric shock. They shut off electricity supply when current leakage is detected. This avoids serious electric shock and possible electric burns by stopping the current flowing through a person.... I have circuit breakers. Is that the same thing? Circuit breakers protect an electrical circuit by quickly cutting power when there is a high current fault or overload that may cause a hazard. A safety switch is different, it shuts off electricity supply when it detects a leakage to earth. Circuit breakers are installed to protect circuit wiring and appliances, while safety switches protect people. Safety switches save lives and should be fitted to all circuits! In Queensland, safety switches are mandatory on power circuits in new homes, rentals and older homes as they’re sold, but the risk still exists on other circuits. Legislative changes to the electrical industry’s Wiring Rules in 2018 has tightened requirements. These changes now require safety switch protection on all sub-circuits in new homes or homes undergoing significant renovation. Often homeowners who want to do the right thing look into their switchbox and think they are protected, but it’s easy to confuse circuit-breakers with safety switches. Look for a ‘test’ or ‘T’ button on the face only safety switches have these. If you are unsure, send me a photo of your switchboard and I can let you know if you are protected!
