Upgrading Switchboards

Switchboard upgrades are important to any home or business’s electrical infrastructure. A switchboard upgrade involves replacing an old fuse box or circuit breaker with a new one.
This ensures that all wiring meets the latest Australian electrical standards and helps reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
Over time, switchboards can become outdated or overloaded, resulting in electrical issues and possible security risks.

Understanding Power Requirements

Single-phase power delivers electricity through one active wire and is common in smaller homes with standard appliances. In contrast, three-phase systems use three active wires, supplying power in a more balanced, continuous flow. This allows for greater energy efficiency, improved voltage stability, and the ability to run high-demand equipment without overloading circuits.

At Electrx, we install, upgrade, and service three-phase switchboards that are fully compliant with Australian Standards. We also ensure proper load balancing, circuit protection, and safety isolation — delivering reliable performance and scalability for future electrical demands.

Switchboard upgrades are essential to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical systems in homes and businesses.
We offer a range of switch upgrades to meet our customers’ unique needs. Some of the types of switch upgrades we provide:

Types Of Switchboard Upgrades

Safety Switches: Safety switches, also known as residual current devices (RCDs), are designed to quickly cut off power in the event of a fault or electrical leakage. They provide additional protection against electric shock and fire hazards.

Circuit Breakers: Circuit breakers protect circuits from over-currents and short circuits. They can also be used to isolate different parts of an electrical system to facilitate easy repairs.

Fuse Boxes: Fuse boxes provide protection against overloads and power surges. They help prevent fire hazards by shutting off electricity when a fuse blows out.

Surge Protectors: Surge protectors are designed to absorb sudden spikes in voltage, preventing damage to appliances or other electrical devices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Single-phase power uses one live wire, suitable for standard residential loads. Three-phase power uses three live wires, delivering more consistent voltage and handling heavier loads — ideal for larger homes or commercial applications.

If you have high-powered appliances like ducted air conditioning, EV chargers, or a large workshop setup, a three-phase switchboard may be required to prevent overloads and ensure safe distribution of power.

Yes. Electrx provides full three-phase upgrades, including metering, cabling, circuit protection, and switchboard installation. We also liaise with your electricity provider where required for a seamless transition.

Your switchboard may need an upgrade if it’s outdated, uses ceramic fuses, or lacks safety switches (RCDs). Modern switchboards improve safety, reduce fire risk, and ensure compatibility with new appliances. Electrx can assess your current setup and recommend a compliant upgrade tailored to your household needs.
