Are you ready for storm season?

It is hard to believe but summer storm season is just around the corner.

When talking to customers now is a good time to remind them of the importance of safety switches and ensuring they know how to test them regularly.

You may also start to get more enquiries about installing generator changeover switches for portable generators.  This is a good opportunity to remind people about the safe use of generators, including checking the condition of supply leads and locating generators to ensure good ventilation.

If it has been a while since you have installed generator changeover switches now is a good time to refresh yourself with the requirement of AS/NZS3000:2007 Electrical installations (the Wiring Rules) and AS/NZS3010:2005 Electrical installations - Generating sets for these changeover switches.
