Unsafe Industrial Switchboard in Warehouse

A switchboard which is unsafe or a fire hazard is a major issue which must be attended to immediately.

In particular, a warehouse with large usage or machines needs regular inspections to ensure that the circuits are secure and all aspects are compliant with the Australian Standards. Where an electrical switchboard is becoming aged or there is a new tenancy or new machine installed, it is highly recommended a qualified electrician completes a thorough inspection. 

Whilst onsite for another task when in a warehouse in Banyo, we identified that this switchboard was damaged and unsafe to work on. The switchboard was non-maintainable and if a catastrophic fault eventuated, the complex likely would have been without power for many weeks until a custom switchboard was made and installed. By upgrading the switchboard, the pro-active owners of this building mitigated the risk of failure, therefore protecting their asset and their clients’ power needs.
