Electrical faults
The most common cause of switchboard damage is an electrical fault. These include:
In some instances, it is common to see one or more of these issues present. That is why it is important to have all electrical faults assessed by an experienced and licensed electrician.
Renovations and improvements
A new switchboard may be required if you are undertaking renovations to your home or workplace. Common examples include the addition of living areas, pools, heating and cooling. Renovations of this type are likely to lead to increases in the load on your existing electrical system and require an upgrade to your switchboard.
Aged switchboards
Another common reason to install a new switchboard is if your property has an old or dated switchboard. Like the technological advances experienced in our homes and workplaces, electrical technology has advanced in areas that aren’t immediately obvious. These improve the safety of the electricity supply. Aged switchboards may contain the following:
In any of the above situations, it is important to speak to a licensed electrician to make sure you receive advice that is tailored to your needs.
Generally speaking, upgrading your electrical switchboard to accommodate your new solar power system is recommended. While there may instances where an existing switchboard can have solar added, we have often found existing switchboards to be at their capacity before the installation of solar panels and an inverter.
Our team can assess your current switchboard and make recommendations according to your current and future electricity requirements. In most cases, upgrading your switchboard will save time and money in the long run.
As our electricity needs evolve, demand for three-phase power in homes and small businesses has increased. The need to install a new switchboard when upgrading to three-phase power is determined by several factors, these include:
Three-phase power is typically found in commercial properties that use large electric devices such as air conditioners or workshop equipment. To run, the equipment needs additional power as well as a more consistent load. Three-phase power uses 3 power wires to carry the load resulting in more stable power delivery. It also delivers more power compared to a typical 240v electrical system.
