Tripping safety switches
in Melbourne.
Request assessment of a protective device that trips repeatedly or unexpectedly.
Record which areas lose power and whether the event follows rain or use of a particular appliance. A protective device operating is a symptom requiring assessment; it should not be bypassed or treated as proof that the device itself is faulty.
