The legal requirement

In Victoria, it is mandatory for safety switches to be installed on both the power and lighting circuits in new properties – and older properties when extensive renovations are carried out. If it’s important to have safety switches in new homes, then it makes a good deal of sense to install them in older properties too.

Why you need a safety switch in your home

All homes have circuit breakers or fuses. These are designed to protect the wiring and appliances within your home. Only safety switches are designed to protect people.

Safety switches are designed to prevent injury or death by monitoring the flow of electricity through a circuit. They automatically shut off your electricity supply when current is detected leaking from faulty switches, wiring or electrical appliances in your home. This stops the chance of current flowing to earth, through a person and electrocuting them.

Are you a landlord?

In accordance with the Residential Tenancies Act 1997, Landlords and Agents are obligated to keep rented premises in a state of good repair. This includes ensuring that all electrical appliances provided by the Landlord are properly maintained and in safe working order. Evidence has shown that lack of appropriate maintenance on fixed electrical installations can lead to catastrophic events. Faulty installations present a serious risk of property damage, injury, and loss of life, therefore it is imperative for Landlords and Agents to ensure that potential electrical hazards are identified and rectified in order to minimize any risk and liability.

Canny Electrics can provide Landlords and Agents with an annual inspection test and assessment of the electrical switchboard to ensure its safe and complies with the new safety switch (RCD) requirements stated in the Wiring Rules (AS/NZS 3000:2018) as well as a full test of all switches, fixed electrical appliances and electrical power points.

Are Safety Switches Failsafe?

Nothing is failsafe. You should regularly check your safety switch. Just like a smoke detector or other safety device, it cannot protect you if it is not working properly. It is also important to make sure your electrical appliances, wiring, extension leads and all other electrical equipment are regularly checked and kept in good working order.

Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers cut the power off when electrical wiring has too much current flowing through it. Too much current flowing through a circuit will your wiring heat or perhaps one of your electrical appliance’s wires to unsafe levels and potentially cause an electrical fire.

Fuses work in the same way as circuit breakers. Both fuses and circuit breakers do not protect people from electrical shock.

Surge Protectors

Surge protectors safeguard your appliances and wiring from voltage surges like a lightning strike. Safety switches and surge protectors play entirely different roles. Surge protectors protect electrical appliances, safety switches protect people.

How to recognise a safety switch

If you’re not sure whether or not you have a safety switch fitted to your switchboard, check by looking at your switchboard for a “test reset” button. That tells you that you have a safety switch installed. When you open your switchboard, you should see something like the above image.

Typical switchboard with the main switch, safety switch with test button, and four circuit breakers.

Safety switches, surge diverters and circuit breakers

Safety switches are often confused with circuit breakers and surge diverters. Safety switches are not the same as circuit breakers or fuses. Safety switches are designed to prevent injury or death by automatically switching off the electricity supply, within 0.03 of a second, when an electrical fault is detected.

How Home Automation Helps During Pandemic

Someone paid $500 for a pack of 32 toilet rolls? It’s true. It was on eBay. As COVID-19 continues to spread so too does the hysteria surrounding the virus and fears of long-term quarantine. Supermarkets around the country literally have shelves stripped bare of toilet paper. Australia – are we going mad?

Actually no. According to research, Australia is pretty smart. Sydney in particular when it comes to smart cities.
