Your fuseboard protects your home from faulty appliances or wiring. If a switch on your fuseboard trips, you can locate the fault through a process of elimination.
- Find your fuseboard. It’s usually in a cupboard, hallway, or near the entrance to your home.
- Read the labels. Each switch or fuse should have a label. Lights, sockets, kitchen. Match the labels to areas in your home.
- Up is usually on, down is off. If a switch is down and you need it up, flip it!
- Tripping the switch: If a switch keeps tripping, it’s protecting your home. Use a process of elimination to locate the faulty appliance. Watch the video below to see how.
