What is a safety switch?

A safety switch is a specific type of switch you can use in the home to reduce the risk of electric shock greatly.

Safety switches have inbuilt systems designed to identify electrical faults and switch off power within milliseconds. This not only protects the person using a specific power point but can also protect the electronics themselves too.

If you’re concerned about electrical safety in your home, safety switches are a fast and convenient way to protect yourself and your loved ones from potential shocks.

All new properties since 1991 require safety switches in lighting and power points – but if you’re not sure if your home has safety switches included, it’s always best to seek expert advice from fully qualified and licensed electricians like our team at O’Brien Electrical Dubbo.

What’s the difference between a safety switch and a circuit breaker?

While a safety switch is specifically designed to protect individuals against dangerous electrical accidents, circuit breakers are developed to protect material items in your homes, such as appliance and wiring.

Circuit breakers are often referred to as fuses and are an essential part of a complete electrical safety system alongside safety switches.

Safety switches monitor the flow of electricity through a circuit for any imbalances, switching off power within 0.03 seconds to reduce the chance of shock.

Why are safety switches important?

Safety switches are vitally important because they are both a legal requirement and an essential safety feature.

Ensuring the wiring and electrics in your home is as safe as possible is very important.

Our qualified electrician will ensure safety switches are installed in your property, whether it’s being built from scratch or existing electrics are being changed and replaced.

Check your safety switches regularly

Keeping an eye on your existing electronics is a must if you’re a homeowner, and your safety switches are no exception.

Getting regular tests and checks for your safety switches helps to ensure everything is working as it should, and your electric system continues to be as safe as possible. For testing safety switches in Dubbo, our experienced team are the best option to secure peace of mind.
