Call 0418 383 232Safety switches at Arthurs Seat have to cover the house and the circuits that leave it. Power and lighting indoors, and outdoor circuits on a wind-exposed hillside, should not sit on one old device or on none at all. Impulse Electrical installs RCD protection and tests it, from our Dromana base at the foot of the Seat.
We test trip times, label the circuits and issue a Certificate of Electrical Safety. If the enclosure has no room for proper protection, the switchboard is upgraded rather than a device squeezed into a fuse board. Outdoor circuits on an exposed deck are included in that test. Call 0418 383 232.
The board layout is read first. Power, lighting and the outdoor circuits each get protection where the enclosure can take it. A circuit that runs to an outbuilding at another level is on the same list. If the board is still ceramic fuses with no spare way, the switchboard upgrade comes before another device is forced in.
Wind and weather on the escarpment are why outdoor fittings are IP-rated. Protection still has to trip those circuits. A hospitality or tourism building near the Eagle chairlift is tested on its own board. Partial cover in a nearby house does not protect that premises.
On an exposed hillside the outdoor circuits matter as much as the kitchen. A deck that takes the wind still has to trip with the rest of the board, and the fittings on that deck are IP-rated rather than ordinary gear. We test each protected circuit, including a run that leaves the house for an outbuilding at another level. Partial cover from a single device in the meter box is not the end of the job. A hospitality or tourism building near the Eagle chairlift is opened on its own board. Protection in a house on Arthurs Seat Road does not extend to that premises. If the enclosure has no room, the switchboard is upgraded so the safety switches fit properly.

Many older ones do not, or they only cover part of the house. We open the board and test what is actually protected rather than assume.
Yes. Exposed outdoor circuits are part of the test. The fittings themselves are IP-rated where wind and weather reach them.
Only when the enclosure and the circuits allow proper protection. If there is no spare way, the board is upgraded so power and lighting are both covered.
Yes, on its own board. Safety testing for hospitality and tourism operators near the State Park is separate from the house next door.
