The latest switchboards come with advanced safety features that were previously unavailable, these include Residual-current devices and circuit breakers which automatically reset unlike the old ceramic fuses that required manual re wiring, so no more fiddling around in the dark trying to find the torch. RCD’s work by automatically cutting the flow of electricity within mili seconds when there’s an electrical fault or incident. This helps prevent the risk of fire and a fatal electrical shock. In addition to this, knowing that your switchboard has been installed by a licensed electrician means all the wiring and connections have been correctly installed and are safe, which very reassuring.
