Forget the old, dusty image of a grey box lurking in the corner; today's switchboards are like the quarterback in a football game, calling the shots for your home's electrical play. Now, you might be wondering, "What exactly does this switchboard do?" First, let's clear the air: a switchboard isn't just a glorified on-off switch. […]

We have recently finished a mains board upgrade on a domestic property near the Parafield Community Centre. We removed the old asbestos backboard and ceramic fuses. You installed a new bramite board, a new 12-way mains board, a new principal switch, and an RCBO for each circuit. The RCBO means you have a new breaker and safety control for each course. So, if the system has an issue, you will only lose that circuit, not the whole house. You also have the peace of mind that each class is protected and completely safe. We will conduct testing and check if you have an earth in your lighting circuit.
We can also identify any other issues you may have during the service. Upgrading the mains board should be one of the first electrical jobs done in any old property, as this can help to identify any existing issues.
We recommend a full electrical test if the property is over 20 years old.
The tests are listed below:
Tests should include insulation resistance
This will identify if the cable insulation is beginning to break down. Polarity testing to determine if all accessories are connected to the correct polarity terminals
Earth loop impedance
This test confirms that the cable connections are good enough for the safety switch to trip in the time range outlined in the wiring rules. We can also tighten connections in the main boards, power outlets, etc.
Safety switch testing
This will check the correct operation of your safety switches and ensure they are tripping within 300 milliseconds.
The testing is documented in a report for your convenience, so you can test in another three years to see if the electrical system has deteriorated and, if so, to what extent. The report will have all of the test results recorded for each circuit. Any issues will be recorded and graded as one of the following:
An observation
- requires improvement,
- requires urgent attention,
- requires further investigation.
The report is an ideal way of identifying any electrical issues, enabling you to determine the urgent problems and have them rectified to stop them from becoming life-threatening issues.
The report and the mains board upgrade protect you against electrical shock or fire risks. Mastin Electrical recommends upgrading your mains board before other electrical work or home improvement projects.
If you want more information, please contact Mastin Electrical; we will gladly help.
