From time to time an item will fail and there is a responsibility from the technician to report the defective item and label it accordingly. These items are withdrawn from use and depending on the fault further testing or repairs can be completed to fix the fault.

An RCD is a Residual Current Device, which is designed to prevent you from receiving a fatal electric shock, should you touch a live item such as an exposed cable or broken light switch. RCD’s offer a level of personal protection that a standard fuse or circuit breaker cannot.

The frequency of testing is dependent on the equipment being tested and the environment it is used in. AS/NZS 3760:2010 specifies the generally observed safety inspection and maintenance standards for Australia. This includes the safety inspection and testing of single polyphase (240v–415v) portable electrical equipment, and, machinery connect to supply by flexible cord which is currently in-service, available for re-sale or hire. Inspection and testing intervals can range from daily, monthly, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, 2 years and up to 5 yearly testing schedules.

This is dependent on how many pieces of equipment and the type of equipment being tested. For our experience technicians, routine equipment testing should take no longer than a couple of minutes with minimal disruptions. We require the equipment to be switched off to perform a comprehensive electrical test.

The cost of testing your equipment will be based on the amount of equipment tested and the location of your establishment. Our qualified and friendly staff will be able to assist with providing a quote over the phone.

An environment or space where the lifespan of an appliance may reduce is called a hostile environment. Exposure to excessive heat, dust, harmful chemical, and various other agents can affect the performance and lifespan of appliances.

The Standard AS/NZS 3760 does not apply to electrical equipment (such as suspended light fittings), installed at a height of 2.5 m or greater above the ground, floor or platform, where there is not a reasonable chance of a person touching the equipment.

An Earth-leakage circuit breaker (ELCB) is a safety device used in electrical installations with high earth impedance to prevent shock. It detects small stray voltages on the metal enclosures of electrical equipment and interrupts the circuit if the voltage level exceeds danger threshold.The main purpose of ELCB is to detect Earth leakages and prevent injury to human beings from electrical shocks and prevent electrical fires that are caused by short Circuit.
