DB Box Upgrade & Replacement in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor

The distribution board is where the safety of the whole installation is decided. An older board without RCD protection will still deliver power perfectly well — it just will not disconnect fast enough if someone contacts a live conductor.

FAQs

DB Box Upgrade & Replacement — Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions customers ask us most about this service.

What does an RCD actually do?+

It monitors whether the current going out equals the current coming back. If some is escaping — through a person, or through damp insulation — it disconnects in a fraction of a second. An MCB only protects against overload and short circuit; it does not protect a person the way an RCD does.

My old board works fine. Why change it?+

Because working and being safe are not the same thing. A rewireable fuse board delivers power normally right up until a fault, and then it clears that fault more slowly and with less discrimination than a modern board. If your board has no RCD, that is the case for upgrading it.

Will upgrading the board stop my nuisance tripping?+

Sometimes, but not always, and it is important to be honest about that. If tripping is caused by a genuine fault on a circuit or by too much load on one way, a new board will keep tripping. What a new board does is let us separate circuits and identify which one is at fault.

How long will the power be off?+

Long enough to remove the old board, install the new one and terminate every circuit — you should plan for the supply to be off for a good part of the working day. We agree the timing with you in advance so you can plan around it.
