Power surges can seriously damage your electrical appliances and systems. Surges from lightning, power outages, or heavy machinery can lead to expensive repairs or replacements. Installing surge protection devices (SPDs) at your main switchboard provides a strong safeguard against these unexpected events.

Benefits of Surge Protection

  1. Protects Appliances: SPDs shield sensitive electronics like computers, TVs, and kitchen appliances from voltage spikes.
  2. Reduces Fire Risks: By redirecting excess voltage safely to the ground, surge protectors minimise the risk of overheating and fire.
  3. Extends Equipment Lifespan: Preventing damage from surges ensures your devices last longer.
  4. Peace of Mind: With surge protection installed at your main switchboard, you can rest easy knowing your electrical system is secure.

Our team installs high-quality SPDs in compliance with Australian standards (AS/NZS 3000). We strategically place these devices at your main switchboard to provide complete protection across your property, and we ensure all installations meet electrical tagging requirements for safety compliance.

FAQ – Surge Protection in Melbourne

Surge protection is essential because power surges—caused by lightning strikes, power outages, or large appliances switching on—can damage electrical systems and appliances, leading to costly repairs or replacements. Installing surge protection devices (SPDs) helps safeguard your property against these unpredictable events by diverting excess voltage safely away from your equipment.

Surge protection devices are typically installed at the main switchboard and act as a barrier, limiting excess voltage from entering your electrical system. When a surge occurs, the SPD diverts the extra current safely to the ground, protecting all connected devices throughout your home or business. Strategic placement at the switchboard ensures comprehensive coverage for the entire property.

While surge protectors provide a level of defense against voltage spikes caused by nearby lightning strikes, they cannot guarantee complete protection from a direct lightning hit, which can overwhelm most devices. For maximum safety during severe storms, unplugging sensitive electronics is recommended.

Surge protection devices degrade over time as they absorb multiple surges. Manufacturers generally recommend replacing them every 3 to 5 years, or immediately after a significant surge event, to ensure ongoing effective protection for your electrical systems and appliances.
