Electric FAQ's
You can find our most common FAQs here, or if you have a question please get in touch with us for expert electrical advice.
Are LED lights more efficient?
Yes, LED lights are a more energy efficient choice than incandescent lighting and they also last longer than a traditional incandescent bulb. This makes them a more cost-effective lighting solution. Talk to VU Electrical about a money-saving LED lighting upgrade at your home or business today.
Do I need safety switch?
It is very dangerous to not have safety switches. VU Electrical highly recommends every property should have them.
Safety switches will protect anyone using electrical appliances that can potentially become “live”. The safety switch will open the circuit in a fraction of a second stopping potential electrocution of anyone using the appliance.
What is an RCD?
An RCD is a residual-current device, also more commonly known as a safety switch. A safety switch trips the circuit when a leak to earth is detected from a fault in wiring, an appliance, or switch.
What's the difference between a safety switch and a circuit breaker?
A safety switch protects people from electrical accidents, while a circuit breaker protects the wiring and electrical systems inside a home or business. A safety switch monitors the flow of electricity through a circuit and can detect when it is about to cause a potential electric shock. It instantly activates, which reduces the chance of being electrocuted by switching the power on the circuit off within 0.03 seconds.
A circuit breaker on the other hand, provides protection for electrical circuits. It cuts out the power when a high current fault or overload is detected when too many appliances are plugged into a power point, preventing fire or electrocution.
On your property, you should have combined circuit breaker safety switches. These will keep both you and your appliances protected inside your home or business.
