Electrical Defect Notice

Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy issue an electrical defect notice when their inspectors find some irregularities within their customer’s premise. This notice prompts property owners that a repair or replacement is needed to be carried out within 21 days for them to continue enjoying electricity. A Level Two Electrician is required to work on issues outlined in this notice as it involves working on equipment connected to a live electrical network. Our team of L2 electricians have the right knowledge and tools to help homes across Sandringham with electrical repairs and replacements detailed in their electrical defect notice.

Electrical Switchboard

Repairing or replacing the electrical switchboard is among the most common trouble listed in an electrical defect notice. Inspectors from public utilities issue the notice once they find an old, worn-out switchboard or if the one installed cannot handle the electricity demands of appliances inside the house. Our Level 2 ASP experts recommend in such cases an upgrade to a 3 phase electrical switchboard. This switchboard is commonly seen in commercial spaces as it was built to handle heavier electricity loads. It does not only offer stable electricity flow and decreased energy loss, but it also comes with safety switches to safeguard power outlets and appliances from electrical shock. It also does not come with harmful chemicals like asbestos that is present in older switchboards.

Consumer Mains

The consumer main, also known as supply cables, provides power to the electrical switchboard and the whole building. Located in the switchboard, any issues with this equipment can lead to electrocution, fire hazards and power outages when not fixed immediately. We also specialise in helping upgrade buildings still dependent on Vulcanised Indian Rubber (VIR) cables. While this type of consumer main was popular back in the day, it is already old, outdated and could no longer handle modern energy demand. Our electrical level 2 team recommends upgrading to a Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE) consumer main. This modern version offers several benefits, including increased tensile strength, improved hot deformation and stronger insulation. To know more about the advantages associated with using a more modern consumer main, our L2 electricians discussed it in our blog post “Benefits Of Upgrading Consumers Mains.”

Point of Attachment

Those wondering what is the device usually located near the edge of the roof, it is the point of attachment. It connects the house to the main electrical grid via an overhead power line running through a private power pole or directly connected to the street pole. Improper installation and the need for replacement are usual requests we receive for this equipment. Our team of level 2 electrical contractors have years of experience and training to diagnose what is wrong with the point of attachment and provide a resolution in just minutes.

Overhead Power Cables

The overhead power line is popular among property owners due to its affordability. These power lines are usually attached to a private power pole, which makes them easier to repair. However, there are downsides to having overhead power cables bring electricity into the property. Its location makes it prone to external factors that may impact its function. Interference from wildlife and vegetation often damages overhead power lines. It is also easily affected by extreme weather events like strong winds and storms. When Sydney locals need help with their overhead power cables, our level two electricians are always ready to help.

Private Power Poles

Private power poles allow property owners to decide where electricity will enter their building. It also acts as another layer of protection against hazards associated with being directly connected to the main electrical grid. But the upkeep of this piece of equipment is the responsibility of the homeowner or business. The good news is that our Level 2 ASP experts have the experience, knowledge and tools to help anyone across Sydney. We can help with its maintenance, fix fallen private poles, and check the integrity of any timber or galvanised steel private power pole after a storm.
