What are the signs that a switchboard needs upgrading?
Frequent tripping of circuit breakers, flickering lights, buzzing from the panel or visible scorch marks are warning signs. Old ceramic fuses, limited circuit capacity or no safety switches also indicate it may be outdated. Even if it’s functioning, these issues can mean it’s unsafe or non-compliant under current standards.
Why are safety switches important in a modern switchboard?
Safety switches protect people from electric shock by cutting power instantly when a fault occurs. They’re required for all new circuits and are vital for protecting both people and appliances. Without them, the risk of injury or equipment damage increases significantly.
Do I need a licensed electrician for a switchboard upgrade?
Yes. This work must be performed by a licensed electrician to meet safety and legal requirements. DIY attempts are illegal and can create serious hazards, including fire and electric shock.
