RCD Switch Installation & Replacements Melbourne
Does your rental property have modern safety switches protecting it? As a landlord in Melbourne, making sure that your switchboard meets current Victorian requirements goes beyond compliance—it protects lives. RCD switches cut power within milliseconds when they detect electrical faults, providing crucial protection against electrocution and electrical fires.
Since March 2023, all Victorian rental properties must have circuit breakers and safety switches (RCDs or RCBOs) installed. If your property’s switchboard lacks these modern safety features, you need professional RCD switch installation to meet these mandatory standards.
Understanding RCD Requirements for Melbourne Rental Properties
Every rental property in Victoria must have working safety switches protecting power and lighting circuits. These devices, known as Residual Current Devices (RCDs), monitor electrical flow and instantly disconnect power when they detect dangerous leakage currents.
Key RCD installation requirements include:
- Safety switches on all power circuits
- Protection for lighting circuits
- Circuit breakers replacing old-style fuses
- Proper testing and certification
- Compliance with AS/NZS 3000 standards
