FAQs
What types of safety electrical switches do you supply in Cowan?
We stock a full range of premium-grade safety switches, including residual current devices (RCDs), combination RCD/MCB units, load-break isolators, emergency stop switches, and weather-proof industrial safety switches. This variety lets us match the correct protection level to homes, offices, workshops, and heavy-duty industrial sites throughout Cowan.
Why are safety switches important for residential and commercial properties?
Safety switches constantly monitor the flow of electricity and trip within milliseconds if they detect an imbalance caused by a fault, damaged cable, or accidental contact. This rapid disconnection prevents fatal electric shocks, reduces fire risk, and protects connected equipment. Both NSW regulations and AS/NZS 3000 (the Wiring Rules) mandate RCD protection on final sub-circuits in new installations and many retrofit situations.
How do I know if my current switchboard requires a safety switch upgrade?
Common signs include ceramic fuses instead of circuit breakers, the absence of a visible âTâ or test button on existing breakers, frequent nuisance tripping, or a board manufactured before the mid-1990s. If you are unsure, our licensed electricians can perform a compliance audit in Cowan to check for required RCD coverage and overall switchboard health.
Are your safety electrical switches compliant with Australian Standards?
Yes. Every device we supply is independently tested and certified to AS/NZS 3190 and AS/NZS 61009 (for RCBOs) or AS/NZS 60947 (for industrial isolators). We source only from reputable manufacturers with ISO 9001 quality systems, ensuring long-term reliability and insurance acceptance.
Do you offer installation, testing, and maintenance services in Cowan?
Absolutely. Our Cowan-based team holds Level 2 ASP and NSW electrical contractor licences, enabling us to install new safety switches, retrofit existing boards, and perform mandatory six-monthly push-button and yearly trip-time tests for workplaces. We also provide 24/7 emergency call-outs should a critical switch fail.
