Why Is a Safety Switch Essential?
A safety switch is a critical device that protects against electrical hazards by monitoring electricity flow and cutting power during irregularities. If your safety switch malfunctions, your home can be vulnerable to severe risks.
Common Signs of Safety Switch Problems
Safety switch tripping frequently or remaining in the off position.
Flickering lights, intermittent power loss, or damaged wiring.
Burn marks or the smell of burning plastic near your switchboard or meter box.
Overloaded power sockets, overloaded circuits, or too many appliances connected to the same circuit.
Don’t ignore these warning signs—prompt action can prevent major electrical issues.
Tips to Avoid Electrical Overload
Distribute your electrical appliances across different power points and circuits
Regularly test your safety switch by pressing the test button to ensure it’s working correctly
Avoid using power boards to connect multiple appliances to a single outlet
Have a licensed electrician inspect your electrical system periodically, especially if your safety switch stays in the off position or continues to trip

What should I do if my safety switch keeps tripping?
If your safety switch continues to trip, unplug all the appliances connected to that circuit and try resetting the switch. If it still trips, there may be an underlying electrical fault or issue that requires a licensed electrician to inspect.
How often should I test my safety switch?
You should test your safety switch every three months by pressing the test button. If the switch does not trip when tested, contact a licensed electrician to check your electrical system.
Can I reset a safety switch myself?
Yes, you can reset a safety switch by flipping it back to the "on" position. However, if it keeps tripping, it’s best to have a licenced electrician inspect your electrical circuits.
What is the difference between a safety switch and a circuit breaker?
A safety switch is designed to protect against electric shock by cutting off the power supply when it detects an electrical fault, while a circuit breaker protects against electrical overloads by interrupting the flow of electricity in the event of an overload.
Why did my safety switch fail during a storm?
Storms can cause power surges or moisture to enter your electrical systems, which can lead to a safety switch tripping. If this happens, have your system checked by an emergency electrician to prevent further issues.
