Safety Switch Installation in Bittern from Impulse Electrical Contractors, based nearby in Dromana and servicing the wider Mornington Peninsula. Around the Western Port Bay side, the Hastings fringe and the surrounding rural blocks, older town homes, rural properties, hobby farms and multi-building working properties need electrical work that is safe, tidy and suited to local conditions.
Call 0418 383 232Safety switches are missing from many older Bittern houses whose boards have not been touched in decades. Power, lighting, shed and pump circuits should not sit on one old device, or on none at all. Impulse Electrical installs RCD protection and tests it, from our Dromana base, for town houses and for hobby farms around the town.
Safety switches help protect people from electric shock by cutting power quickly when a fault is detected. Impulse Electrical installs RCD protection to power, lighting, appliance and outdoor circuits, replacing outdated protection and checking the switchboard layout for compliance. We test trip times, label circuits and provide a Certificate of Electrical Safety after the work is complete. In Bittern, older house wiring, sheds and pump circuits should not rely on partial protection from one or two old devices. Impulse Electrical is fully licensed — A Grade A53308 and REC 25266 — with $25M public liability and a Certificate of Electrical Safety supplied on every job.
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. A water pump circuit is included in that test. Outdoor lighting on a rural block is tested with the house, because a yard fitting that does not trip with the rest of the board is still unprotected. Call 0418 383 232.
The board layout is read first. Power, lighting and the circuits that leave the house for a shed or a water pump each get protection where the enclosure can take it. If the board is still ceramic fuses with no spare way, the switchboard upgrade comes before another device is forced in.
Older houses in small Western Port towns like Bittern often have ageing switchboards, no safety switches and tired wiring. Partial cover from one device is not protection on the circuits that exist now. A hobby farm adds outdoor, shed and irrigation circuits to that list. Those are protected with the house.

Many do not, or they have only partial cover. We open the board and test what is actually protected rather than assume.
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. Pump and irrigation circuits on a Bittern hobby farm are included with the shed circuits. They are not left on an unprotected way.
Both are tested. A multi-building property is not finished when only the house circuits trip. The shed and the pump are part of the same check.
