We inspect and test Electrical Equipment to AS3760

In ACT, making sure that your Electrical equipment complies with Workplace Health & Safety regulations and requirements is particularly important and ensuring that you use a qualified electrician for repairs which also helps save you money and time. In most cases, the business owner or site manager has the choice to either replace the failed item or have it repaired.

RCD’s, also known as Residual Current Devices or Safety Switches, are required to be tested in Canberra businesses. Testing of RCD’s involves two testing to be conducted per year. The first test is a Push Button Test to ensure that the internals react in a timely manner with no delay to the test facility. An Electrician or Licenced technician can perform the Yearly test which can be completed in two ways, with or without an Electrician. An Electrical with an observer, who is trained in switchboard rescue, can remove the switchboard covers and access all relevant test points efficiently to perform the required testing. A non-electrician or Licenced technician will use an RCD Test meter to determine if the RCD phases react to below 300ms.

To find out if your premises or business is meeting Workplace Health & Safety regulations and requirements, contact FCF Fire & Electrical today.
