The long awaited electrical upgrade was done today, new switchboard replacing the old ceramic and wire fuses, the power point with the welded contacts was replaced and a new 280V 40KA surge protection device installed. Still waiting on the 20A 100mA Combo Circuit breaker RCD to be installed.

One source of mains leakage to earth was found in the light switch wiring of all places.
