Electrical Switchboard Upgrades

Upgrading to the most modern equipment is one way to reduce the chances of electrical hazards on the property. Our level 2 ASP electricians can help with switchboard upgrades and recommend this move in residential and commercial properties still relying on old and outdated equipment. Our Level 2 ASP Electricians recommend upgrading to the 3 Phase Electrical Switchboard. A 3 Phase Power system allows the switchboard to connect to the main distribution line in three phases. This setup comes with three active wires and one neutral wire and gives the property with 240V and 415V electrical supply. With a 3 phase power, residential and commercial buildings can handle bigger power demand.

Overhead Power Lines Installations and Repairs

More Sydney homeowners and businesses prefer using overhead power lines than underground cables. Their choice comes from the fact that this equipment offers more benefits than the other option. It is easier and cheaper to install and maintain. From our L2 electricians’ perspective, it is also more convenient to modify and reroute. Its location allows for easy identification of issues affecting the cables.

Consumer Main Upgrades

Like the electrical switchboard, a modern consumer main can handle modern power demands. Buildings that are still dependent on the old and outdated Vulcanised Indian Rubber (VIR) cables are best to upgrade to a newer consumer main. VIR cables offered several unique advantages, including corrosion resistance, waterproof and abrasion resistance. However, several hazards come with its use. These hazards are also why it is no longer recommended to use these cables. The Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) consumer main offers several advantages aside from being free from asbestos exposure. It also provides increased impact resistance, improved hot deformation and stronger insulation. 

Point of Attachment Repairs

Improper installation and the need for replacement are common job requests associated with the point of attachment. These requests usually appear on an electrical defect notice. Commonly located on the edge of the building’s roof, a point of attachment is the first point of electrical supply and is where the service cable connects with the property. Given its vital role, regular maintenance is a must for the point of attachment to be at its best state. A well-maintained point of attachment ensures a stable supply of electricity 24/7.

Electrical Defect Notices

Inspectors issue an electrical defect notice when there’s missing or defective equipment in the property or when the electrical system setup does not meet the standards set by Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy. NSW requires regular inspection as mandated by the Electricity Supply Act 1995 and Electricity (Consumer Safety) Regulation 2006. Irregularities found in these inspections are listed in the notice and must be addressed within 21 days. The following are common issues listed in an electrical defect notice:

• Dangerous private power poles
• Point of attachment issues
• Old and outdated electrical switchboards
• Low-hanging overhead power cables
• Vegetation interference 
• Other defects or missing equipment
