Call 0418 383 232A safety switch in Carrum Downs has to cover the garage and the workshop as well as the kitchen sockets. Estate houses add outdoor and garage circuits after the original board was fitted. Factory units on Hall Road and Frankston-Dandenong Road add tool circuits that were never on an RCD. Older brick homes may still have no safety switch at all. Impulse Electrical installs and tests them from our Dromana base.
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 Impulse Electrical installs RCD protection to power, lighting, appliance and outdoor circuits, replacing outdated protection and checking the switchboard layout for compliance.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 Carrum Downs, homes with children, outdoor entertaining areas, sheds, pools or older wiring 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 see which circuits are actually protected, including the garage and any tenancy board, and add RCD or RCBO protection to the ones that are not. If the enclosure has no room, the honest job is a switchboard upgrade with the switches included. Testing and a Certificate of Electrical Safety (COES) finish the work. Call 0418 383 232.
On an estate house we can often add RCD or RCBO protection to the lighting, garage and outdoor circuits that were left off, if the enclosure has room. On an older brick house the fuse board usually does not, so the switches arrive with a new board. In a light-industrial tenancy the circuits that feed benches and portable tools are the ones we refuse to leave unprotected.
Carrum Downs garages collect compressors, welders and leads. A circuit that feeds them and has no safety switch will not clear a fault quickly. The same is true of a bench in a Hall Road or Frankston-Dandenong Road unit. For rented houses, missing RCD protection is also a defect a two-yearly electrical safety check is meant to find.

Not always. The original board can protect the socket outlets while the garage, the lights and a later outdoor circuit sit outside that switch. We check each circuit.
Usually a fault in a tool, a lead or a damp fitting, which means the switch is doing its job. We find the leak rather than telling you to hold the switch on or to bypass it.
Yes, on the circuits that belong to the tenancy, after we see the board and the supply. Portable tools on a bench need RCD protection. If the enclosure is full, the switches are part of a board upgrade.
Rental electrical safety checks look for RCD protection as part of a safe installation. Where circuits that should have it are missing it, we install the switches and record the work with a COES.
