Extension Leads & Powerboards
Professional testing of extension leads, power boards, and portable outlet devices. Insulation, earth continuity, and visual inspections across Melbourne.
Extension leads and powerboards are among the most common failure points in workplace electrical systems. Due to frequent handling, movement, and connection changes, these items are particularly susceptible to damage that can create serious safety hazards.
Our qualified technicians thoroughly test all connections, insulation resistance, and earth continuity on every extension lead, power board, and portable outlet device. Each item is visually inspected for signs of damage including frayed cords, cracked casings, bent pins, and loose connections.
Damaged or non-compliant items are identified immediately and clearly marked as failed. Where possible, our team can perform on-site repairs to get your equipment back into service quickly.
All testing is carried out in accordance with AS/NZS 3760:2010 standards. Upon completion, each tested item receives a durable barcode tag showing its pass or fail status and next test due date, ensuring your workplace remains compliant.
Extension leads and powerboards are required to be tested at regular intervals depending on your work environment. Hostile environments such as construction sites and workshops require more frequent testing than standard office settings. Our team can advise you on the correct testing schedule for your workplace.
Common faults we identify during testing include internal wire breakage, damaged insulation, overheating connections, and missing or broken earth pins. These faults can lead to electric shock, fire, or equipment damage if left undetected. Regular testing by qualified technicians is the most effective way to identify and eliminate these risks before they cause harm.
