Let’s talk about switchboards.
Safety switches are an important part of the electrical installation usually not installed in older homes due to old regulations. It is important to understand that safety switches will protect you and your family against electrocution, where as a standard circuit breaker will only protect the cable from short circuiting and overloading.
Moreover, there is a new regulation in place against installing Type AC safety switches rendering some currently installed safety switches as defective.
It’s important to regularly test your electrical appliances and safety switches and ensure the correct size and type are installed.
