Safety Switch Testing Brisbane

Safety switches cannot protect a person if they contact both active and neutral conductors together. In this case the current may not flow to earth and the safety switch would not detect an imbalance (and therefore not “trip” (cut off the electricity).

Complete protection under all circumstances is not possible from safety switches or any other devices. Proper care and maintenance of electrical equipment is still required.

What’s so good about safety switches?

• Safety switches are designed to disconnect the power in less time than a heart beat; thus possibly preventing a tragedy
• Safety switches protect against shocks from current passing through the body to earth which is the most frequent cause of electrocution
• An item of electrical equipment could be damaged shortly after testing and tagging – which means that if the equipment is no longer electrically safe, the testing and tagging is no longer accurate .. A functioning safety switch provides ongoing protection; testing and tagging checks the integrity of the item at the time of testing only
• Switch provides a level of protection in these instances and will assist with identifying faulty equipment.
