Fault Finding & RCD Replacement in Narrabeen
Ampower Electrical recently assisted a homeowner in Narrabeen with a detailed electrical fault finding and diagnostic call-out after their power and lighting circuits began tripping unexpectedly.
Our technician Sean attended the property and carried out a thorough process of elimination, inspecting all electrical components to identify the root cause of the issue. The RCD inside the switchboard was consistently tripping, indicating a deeper safety fault requiring immediate attention.
What We Found
During the investigation, Sean tested each circuit individually and discovered that the existing RCD safety switches in the switchboard were faulty. Faulty or ageing RCDs can cause nuisance tripping, loss of power, and pose potential safety hazards.
To restore safety and reliability, we removed the defective unit and installed a 20A RCBO safety switch—a high-quality combined overcurrent and residual-current protective device. RCBOs offer superior protection by safeguarding both the circuit and the user from faults.
