Mining Safety & Compliance

Localsearch WebServices • September 2, 2020

When your main objectives are safety and compliance, it is important to have the appropriate product for the environment.


Mining sites throughout Australia are often exposed to the harshest conditions mother nature has to offer so generally it takes much more than IP ratings and stainless steel to ensure the appropriate performance of a switchboard and its components whilst keeping operators safe.


R N Baker Switchboards understands the needs of our clients and provide appropriate solutions backed by design verification.


In this example, we created the appropriate environment for safety, compliance and performance by providing an air conditioned switch room with remote operation and indication of protection and control devices.

Virtually every business or company has a variety of electrical equipment that is used every day. These types of equipment need to be regularly maintained to avoid a serious accident, and in all cases, it is essential that you keep a close eye on the industrial switchboards in your Newcastle premises. These are the tools that you need to keep all of your electrical systems running, RN Baker Switchboards can explain why you might need to examine or replace these boards regularly. What Is An Industrial Switchboard? In factories and manufacturing premises, a switchboard is used to take electrical current from one source and divide it and distribute it to smaller areas. It contains a number of switches which allow operators to redistribute that electricity, and they are vital because they can handle large amounts of power and divided into the small degrees necessary for panel boards, control equipment and transformers. Are They Safe? These switchboards handle a great deal of electricity, and yet they are often overlooked when it comes to safety testing. Despite this, they can carry a serious risk, not only of electrocution but also of fire and machinery damage. In order to avoid this problem, you need to buy switchboards from RN Baker Switchboards that are acknowledged to be safe.  Electricity Suddenly Disconnecting? One of the most serious indicators that you are about to experience problems with your switchboard is when the power suddenly disconnects when you use appliances or equipment. Lights in the building may also flicker, or fuse boxes can fail. All of these are indicators that something is going wrong with your switchboard.

This is a sign that the switchboard circuits are burning out, and you are at risk of a fire.
