Watch this episode of Channel NewsAsia’s Talking Point on the electrical safety of water heater installation for your home.
Overloading power points is dangerous as it may lead to over-heating and start a fire. So do not ’piggy-back’ multiple plugs into one socket by using double adaptors.
It is also important to not use cracked or broken power points/ extension socket outlets. Replace damaged power points/ sockets immediately with the help of a licensed electrical worker to prevent current leakage.
An unearthed plug can cause electric shock when there is a short circuit in an appliance. Take the following precautions with electrical cords and cables:
The RCCB is an electrical safety device that cuts off electricity supply immediately upon the detection of current leakages that may lead to an electric shock. Leakages can be caused by factors such as ageing or exposed wires, faulty electrical appliances, and damaged insulation.
Since 1 July 2023, all residential premises are required to have an Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) installed.
For your safety, test your RCCB once a month to check that it is in good working condition. Visit the Educational Materials section to find out how you should test your RCCB.
The Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) or commonly known as the circuit breaker is an electrical safety device that cuts off the electricity supply immediately upon detecting leakages that may result in an electric shock. Current leakages can be caused by factors such as ageing or exposed wires, faulty electrical appliances, and damaged insulation.
The RCCB is usually located in the distribution board (also known as DB box) or circuit breaker box in your home. It can be identified as a switch with a ‘Test’ button. For HDB residents who are unable to locate your RCCB, please contact your Branch Service Line at 1800-225-5432.
Yes, if you do not already have an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) installed in your home. To enhance electrical safety in all households, all residential premises without a circuit breaker will be required to install an RCCB.
All homeowners will be given a grace period of two years, till 1 July 2025 to do so. HDB will be writing to the homeowners of 3-room and larger flat types, completed in and before 1985 without an RCCB, to share more information on the assistance programme for the installation of RCCB.
You can perform the following 3-step test to ensure your Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) or Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) is working and protects all electrical circuits in your home.
For a detailed step-by-step guide, please visit our RCCB Safety. You are advised to test your ELCB or RCCB once a month to check that it is in good working condition.
Elcb Electrical All homeowners can engage a Licensed Electrical Worker to install an RCCB if necessary. It is recommended to contact a few LEWs to perform price comparisons before engaging one. HDB will be writing to the homeowners of 3-room and larger flat types, completed in and before 1985 without an RCCB, to share more information on the assistance programme for the installation of RCCB.
