Temporary Switchboard and RCD (Residual Current Device) Checklist
PROJECT: / DATE:ELECTRICIAN’S NAME: / SIGNATURE: / LICENCE NO:
METHOD: Temporary switchboards are numbered clearly. Every board must be checked at legislative designated frequencies by the site electrician for evidence of physical damage and RCD operation. If any signs of damaged electrical components or wiring are detected, the RCD fails the push-button trip test, or the electrician believes the switchboard has the potential to cause fire or electric shock, the switchboard must be decommissioned immediately and a “danger: do not operate” tag affixed until repairs have been completed. Any switchboard that cannot be repaired on site must be fitted with an accompanying danger tag, specifying the nature of the fault or defect. The board should then be returned for repairs or replacement.
The electrician is to advise the PSA in writing when any electrical repairs are completed and the board is safe for use.
