A few Electrical FAQ’s
Some commonly asked questions about electrical services:
I am good at DIY, can I complete the small electrical jobs around my house?
This is a definite no.
It is now illegal in Queensland for anyone but a qualified electrician to attempt to do any domestic wiring or rewiring of a house. Even if the work has been completed to the required standard it will not have the required certification which is a requirement when selling a house. You really need to hire a qualified electrician to complete all your household wiring and not risk you or your family’s safety.
How does an electrical safety switch save lives?
On any normal power circuit the current flowing through an electrical appliance returns through the neutral wire. If however the circuit is compromised by say a person coming into direct contact with those wires then the electricity leaks through that person causing death or serious injury.
A safety switch detects this change in power affecting the circuit and cuts the supply as quickly as 30 milliseconds or 0.003 seconds. This response time is faster than a heartbeat and this is what dramatically reduces the risk of death or serious injury through electrocution.
What is Test and Tag?
The system of Test and Tag is one that electricians will use when testing all electrical equipment in a workplace. The appliance is tested for any faults and safety issues. If the piece of equipment passes the check it is then given a tag that is attached stating the test date and the date when the next test is due to be conducted.
