What Is a Safety Switch and Why Is It Important?

A safety switch is a small but powerful device installed in your switchboard. It monitors the flow of electricity and cuts power instantly if a fault or leak is detected, often within 0.3 seconds. This helps prevent electric shocks and reduces the risk of electrical fires.

If you are worried about your family’s safety or workplace compliance, our licensed team offers professional safety switch installation Sydney services. We handle installation, testing, and repairs to give you complete peace of mind.

By law, every domestic property must have at least one safety switch installed in each switchboard. Existing switches should also be tested at least every six months. Don’t delay, call our experts today.

Types of Safety Switch Installation Sydney

To maximise safety, we offer installation and testing of all three main types of safety switches:

1. Switchboard Safety Switch

Installed on the main switchboard, these protect electrical circuits and all connected outlets. Only licensed electricians should install these switches.

2. Powerpoint Safety Switch

Installed at power outlets, these provide extra protection for appliances, cords, and wiring. They are best placed near the first outlet on the circuit.

3. Portable Safety Switch

Ideal for appliances not connected to switchboards or power points. Commonly used with power tools, they prevent hazards from faults during operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO INSTALL A SAFETY SWITCH IN SYDNEY?

The installation cost of safety switches at Sydney Electrical can vary between $80 to $260. Nevertheless, it’s essential to keep in mind that these costs are not always fixed and depend on various factors. Such as the number and type of switches required, the complexity of the installation process, and any additional services needed.

CAN YOU SELL A HOUSE WITHOUT SAFETY SWITCHES?

Electrical safety switches in Sydney must be installed for power points and lighting circuits in new homes and buildings where electrical circuits are added or altered. This is because safety switches are designed to quickly turn off the electricity supply in case of an electrical fault. However, if a house is sold without a safety switch, one must be installed within three months to ensure the safety of its residents.

ARE RCD AND SAFETY SWITCH THE SAME?

RCD, also known as a residual current device, shares similar features with a safety switch. As a result, both terms can be used interchangeably.

How Long Does a Safety Switch Last?

After the safety switch installation in Sydney, it can provide reliable protection for many years to come with proper maintenance.

Why Does My Safety Switch Keep Tripping?

Your safety switch may trip due to a variety of factors, such as changes in current flow, overloaded power sockets or boards, appliance faults, or issues with your home’s wiring.
