Distribution board changes - Carmichael Electrical Services Christchurch
What is a distribution board?
A distribution board is traditionally found in a commercial setting with a three phase incoming supply of electricity. Distribution boards are able to carry much larger loads so that's why they are generally used in a commercial setting.
Unfortunately distribution boards are prone to damage over time. Most importantly, electrical regulations set by industry bodies are constantly evolving so there will be a point where a distribution board will need changing or upgrading.

UK laws provide guidance for employers to follow to keep their commercial building and staff safe, free from electrical faults and hazards. One example is Electricity at work Regulations 1989 which must be followed by employers.
As a commercial premises, a distribution board change or upgrade is required if you want to move away from traditional fuse replacement to MCBS or RCBs (Mini circuit breakers or residual current device). This will make the electrical features at your property much safer as power will be shut off as soon as a power surge is detected.
As an employer, if you suspect the distribution board at your commercial property is faulty or not functioning as it should, we strongly advise you to contact a qualified electrician such as Carmichael Electrical Services immediately to inspect your distribution board.
It might be worth adding that as an employer, buildings manager or commercial business owner, you do require a satisfactory EICR which would deem the premises and all electrical aspects as safe for employees and visitors. Only a qualified electrician can conduct an EICR and for a satisfactory outcome, the distribution board will need to be inspected and free of serious faults.
Distribution board changes, the process
Initially we would need to conduct a commercial EICR or electrical installation condition report on the distribution board, this way any faults can be identified prior to installing a new distribution board. We will ensure the earthing and bonding components, which are required for safety during the upgrade, are adequate. Our qualified electricians will also check circuits which need to be connected to the distribution board, only circuits with minor defects will be connected to your distribution boards.
If your commercial setting has numerous distribution boards, you may wish to carry out distribution changes across the whole processes but of course our electrical engineers will give you their best advice according to your business operations, time and budget.
