Switchboards
Switchboards play an essential role in every electrical system, distributing power to different areas of a home or business. Replacements are recommended every two years, particularly as neglected switchboards can cause hazards such as electrical fires and shocks.
When was the last time you had your switchboard examined by a professional? To arrange a switchboard assessment or replacement – and for your peace of mind – book a consultation with our team today.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ use_custom_gutter=”on” gutter_width=”4″ make_equal=”on” module_class=”h-tags” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”99px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Content” module_class=”sub-tags-up” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Gilmer Med||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”28px” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”60px” header_3_text_color=”#02383c” header_3_font_size=”40px” custom_padding=”60px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]
What do switchboards do?
Essentially, the role of a switchboard is to distribute power throughout a building by diverting it to different circuits. They also protect against a range of electrical issues with circuit breakers or fuses for each circuit.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://byrdelectrical.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/switchboards-images.png” title_text=”switchboards-images” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ module_class=”serv-section serv-section-sub” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”19.5px||19.5px||true|false” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ module_class=”h-tags” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ module_class=”serv-section-left” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https://byrdelectrical.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/switchboards-2-images.png” title_text=”switchboards-2-images” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” global_colors_info=”{}”][/et_pb_image][/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ module_class=”serv-section-right” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Content” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Gilmer Med||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”28px” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”60px” header_3_text_color=”#02383c” header_3_font_size=”40px” module_alignment=”right” min_height=”280px” custom_margin=”||39px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]
What components should a modern switchboard have?
Modern switchboards include several components designed for safety purposes. For example, circuit breakers trip to prevent cables from overheating and starting fires, while safety switches and RCBOs act as essential barriers to electric shock. The system also includes surge protectors and arc fault protection devices.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”19.5px||77px||false|false” collapsed=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ make_equal=”on” module_class=”h-tags” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” custom_padding=”||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Content” module_class=”sub-tags-up” _builder_version=”4.17.3″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Gilmer Med||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”18px” text_line_height=”28px” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_font_size=”50px” header_2_line_height=”60px” header_3_text_color=”#02383c” header_3_font_size=”40px” max_width=”688px” custom_padding=”60px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]
