Safety Switch
Installations are a must, particularly in older houses as they have
old porcelain fuses which find it
hard to cope with the multitude of electrical appliances today’s
homes now have.
Switch board
Installations / Switch board upgrades
It might be
wise to consider upgrading your switch board to a new circuit
breaker as a safety switch is fitted with all electrical switches,
ceiling
fans, downlights,landscape Lighting, in fact all
house wiring and appliances through out your home, and if not
replaced may pose a serious fire risk.
A qualified,
certified electrician should do
maintenance and installation, as there are many electrical
safety
rules and regulations, which by law
have to be adhered to. Any complacency or oversight may place your
home and content insurance at risk.
Circuit Breaker versus Safety
Switch
Safety switches are often confused with circuit
breakers and surge diverters. As such, its imperative to understand
the differences –
Surge diverters protect the property from
voltage surges such as those resulting from a lightning strike. The
surge diverter captures the voltage spikes in the wiring within the
unit itself which would otherwise be transferred into the equipment
within the property. Click

Surge diverters do not act as a safety switch
for personal protection against electric shock.
Circuit breakers provide short circuit and over
current protection such as when a power point is overloaded.

Circuit breakers do not act as a safety switch
for personal protection against electric shock.
Safety switches monitor the flow of electricity
through a circuit and detect a problem which may pose a risk to
personal safety and turn the power off within 0.03 of a second.
