The Advanced Switchboards & Switchboard Accessories

Advanced switchboards are based on a very different principle of operation. Modern circuit breakers and RCD (residual current device) the Current is measured and doesn’t require anything to burn out is the fuse wire to fail before it disconnects the power. The biggest advantage with a modern switchboard is the RCD’s this device can save peoples lives by measuring the difference in current and if it’s not the same that is going out that is coming back it will trip disconnecting the power.

When the old fuse boards were put in homes they didn’t have so much electricity running through it at once. Now we use a lot more electrical devices, it’s normal to be running a washing machine, dishwasher, air-conditioner while doing the ironing and have something cooking in the oven all at the same time. It all requires a lot of electricity that old fuse boards are not designed to do.
