Today’s modern fuse boards come with RCDs – Residual Current Devices. A Residual Current Device (RCD) is an electrical safety device that turns off the electricity supply automatically if there is a fault in either your wiring or something you plug in and use. RCDs are far more sensitive than normal fuses and circuit-breakers, and so provide you with much-needed extra protection against an electric shock.
Having an RCD can save your life. An RCD constantly monitors the electric current flowing around your system. If it detects electricity flowing down an unintended path, such as into a person who has touched something live, it will switch the circuit off very quickly. This significantly reduces the risk of death or serious injury. Circuit breakers and wire fuses can take longer to turn off the power and this delay can prove fatal.
Upgrading from an outdated fuse board allows the installation of modern safety technology like RCDs (residual-current devices) that rapidly shut off power in fault conditions to prevent fires and electric shock. New boards also often have higher capacity to safely handle increased loads from today’s power-hungry devices.
Older boards likely fail to meet the latest safety and performance standards for electrical systems. Replacement ensures compliance with all current regulations and codes for reduced risk.
Certified electricians can expertly install new fuse boards, inspect all circuits, make any necessary repairs, and validate everything is properly wired and functioning optimally.
Investing in a fuse board upgrade provides confidence that your electrical infrastructure meets the most stringent safety requirements for your home. You can use devices worry-free knowing effective safeguards are in place.
With advanced safety technology like RCDs that rapidly disable circuits in fault conditions combined with proper device capacity and certified installation, upgraded boards significantly reduce fire, electrocution and shock risks.
You may be wondering why you need to upgrade your fuse board. There are a number of reasons that could apply to you.
If your current fuse board is older and not up to the current standards, an upgraded fuse board can give you peace of mind and lead to a higher degree of electrical safety in your home. Your new system could have a higher electrical capacity, decreasing the chance of an electrical fire or shocks.
Upgrading your fuse board will offer you long-term cost savings, as it will decrease the likelihood of you needing to invest in repairs on your old system. An older electrical fuse board could even result in problems for your home, so the money spent on an upgrade is a preventative measure.
