Switchboard Upgrade in Alexandra Hills – Modern RCD Protection

Jaric completed a residential switchboard upgrade in Alexandra Hills, replacing ageing switchgear and upgrading circuit protection with individual combination MCB/RCD safety switches. The project included installing a new load centre, renewing meter wiring, checking circuits and testing the upgraded switchboard before re-energising the property’s electrical supply.

Project at a Glance

Service: Switchboard and meter-wiring upgrade
Protection: Individual combination circuit breakers and safety switches

The Challenge

The home’s switchboard needed modernising to improve circuit protection. The meter wiring also required an upgrade.

The Solution

• Replaced the old switchgear: Isolated the mains supply and installed a new load centre.
• Upgraded circuit protection: Replaced existing breakers with combination MCB/RCD devices and renewed the meter wiring.
• Tested the installation: Checked every subcircuit, visually inspected the electrical installation and tested the new equipment after energising.

The Results

Before
Existing switchgear and meter wiring requiring an upgrade.

After
Individual overload, short-circuit and safety-switch protection across the home’s subcircuits.

Operation checked
The new equipment was energised and tested before completion.
