Intelligent systems now adjust lighting, air conditioning and EV charging on their own, and the switchboard has to carry it.
What Cornerblock, RDX, Proxima and the Pimpama Sports Hub show about planning electrical and mechanical systems together.
Queensland committees can be held accountable for common-area electrical safety, and in an older building the main switchboard is the biggest risk.
Ceramic fuses, no safety switches, frequent tripping, visible damage, or a board more than 25 years old.
Compulsory on Queensland power circuits since 1992 and lighting circuits since 2000, with strict rules for sales, rentals and workplaces.
Waiting for a failure usually means a rushed replacement at a higher price, plus the downtime.
Not every old board has to go, but any alteration or extension has to bring it up to today’s standard.
