It is best to have a level 2 electrician when in this situation. These professionals have the needed skills to provide the best resolution for the issues discovered.

What is an Electrical Defect Notice?

Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and other electrical utilities in NSW conduct regular inspections on their customers’ premises. NSW laws mandate these inspections. It aims to ensure the safe delivery of electricity to households and businesses across the state. When an inspector finds missing or defective equipment, the property owner receives an electrical defect notice. This notice lists all the needed repairs or replacements in the building. Property owners are given a 21-day allowance to have these issues resolved. Here are some common issues listed in this notice:

Low-Hanging Overhead Power Lines

Overhead power cables bridge the street pole or private power pole and the building’s electrical wiring system. Given the location of this equipment, it is more to environmental factors like strong winds, storms and other extreme weather events. Wildlife interference also factors in for overhead lines hanging low.

H3 - Outdated Electrical Switchboards

The continued use of old and outdated electrical switchboards increases the chances of experiencing electrical hazards. The higher chances of experiencing these hazards come from the inability of this equipment to handle modern power demands. Upgrading to a 3 Phase Switchboard is the best solution to address this problem.

Aging Point of Attachment

The point of attachment connects the overhead power line to the supply cables inside the building. An improper connection and the need for replacement due to age are common reasons electrical defect notices are issued.

Fallen Private Power Pole

Like the overhead cable, private power poles are also exposed to more external factors. Age and extreme weather conditions are usual factors behind a fallen pole. When this happens, it is best to have a trusted and dependable level 2 ASP professional. They have the needed experience and training to fix problems involving private power poles.
