Electrical Installations
Hi all
So come on is the Australian way of wiring really that bad or is it just different? I mean i have read certain remarks here on the Forum. I noticed in the caboolture area that there Consumer units were outside:curse::curse: which i found amusing, i mean at home its bad enough going under the stairs to switch circuits back on when they have tripped let alone wondering outside in the middle of the night to put circuits back on. Is this a common practice. I also noticed sockets in bathrooms, no supplementary bonding, main earths alot smaller csa etc etc. What are the regulations (briefly) for basic domestic installations?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Look forward to a reply
Kind regards
Jamie
