What are Safety Switches?
Safety switches are actually Residual-current Circuit breakers with overcurrent protection or RCBOS.
Why Should I have Safety Switches?
Safety switches monitor the movement of current (power) throughout a circuit. If they detect that some power has leaked out of the circuit into a person or a faulty appliance, they are designed to cut power in 0.3 of a second unlike porcelain fuses which will continue to allow electricity to flow through you or the appliance until the circuit is broken by letting go or the cable melting.
Don't risk the safety of your family or customers, have your safety switch installed by professionals in Sydney
It is mandatory to have a safety switch installed at every premise in Australia to protect people from major injuries or death caused by electrical malfunctions.
These switches will shut off electricity supply the very instant there is an electrical failure so that people are not hurt by defective devices or wiring, while this can also protect your property from fire damage caused by these electrical failures.
This is a critical safety component in your home that you do not want to take any chances with and the team at Wattley Air and Electrical can supply, install, repair and replace your safety switches to industry standards to ensure you are totally protected.
The common risk associated with safety switches
For many people, safety switches are an invisible guardian, out of sight and out of mind. This can lead to complacency and lead to risks like:
Not having a safety switch: Don't just assume your property has a working, legally compliant safety switch. Always get the experts in to check.
Relying on old technologies: In the past, we have used fuses and circuit breakers and many properties still have these systems. While fuses and circuit breakers will snap when there is a fault to prevent a fire, they are not guaranteed to save your life.
The DIY approach: This is not something you should ever attempt to do yourself, the risk of injury or death is way too high
Letting inspections lapse: There is no sense in having a safety switch if it does not work. Have the experts regularly check your safety switch to ensure it is 100 per cent working and compliant.
