Safety Switch Installation in
Sydney - What You Need to Know
A safety switch — also known as an RCD (Residual Current Device) — detects electrical faults and cuts power to the circuit within milliseconds, protecting people from potentially fatal electric shock. A safety switch can cut power in as little as 0.03 seconds — faster than a heartbeat — when it detects current flowing through an unintended path such as through a person.
Under NSW electrical regulations, safety switches must be installed on all power and lighting circuits when electrical work is carried out on a property. Many older Sydney homes and commercial properties still have switchboards without safety switches on all circuits. If your switchboard does not have a safety switch on every power and lighting circuit, Monaco Electrical can install them.
Monaco Electrical assesses your switchboard, installs safety switches on unprotected circuits and tests all switches to confirm they operate correctly. All safety switch installations are completed to AS/NZS 3000 Wiring Rules with a Certificate of Compliance issued on completion.
