Safety Switch vs Circuit Breaker | High Demand Electrical Level 2 Electricians | Sydney, NSW

Описание: Do you know the difference between a safety switch and a circuit breaker?

Many Sydney homeowners believe their circuit breaker protects them from electric shock. It doesn’t. Circuit breakers are designed to protect wiring and appliances from overloads and short circuits. They are not designed to protect human life.

In this video, High Demand Electrical explains:

• What a circuit breaker actually does
• Why circuit breakers do not trip fast enough to prevent electric shock
• The 30mA threshold and how electricity affects the human body
• How Safety Switches (RCDs and RCBOs) detect current leakage
• Millisecond trip response that prevents serious injury
• When a switchboard upgrade may be required

Modern RCBO protection provides both overcurrent protection and residual current protection, ensuring compliance with AS/NZS 3000 and current NSW safety standards.

As accredited Level 2 Electricians in Sydney, High Demand Electrical provides:

• Switchboard upgrades
• RCBO installation
• Electrical safety audits
• Consumer mains upgrades
• Network-compliant electrical works

If your home was built before modern safety switch requirements, your switchboard may not provide full shock protection.
