[@Cris-ih3jx]

[@MelbourneArchviz]

[@yewtubez]

[@KT-yn8cj]

Call an electrician you clown

[@patrickstevensonn2664]

Very helpful. Thanks for sharing. One question, can I add a new power point switch from an existing light switch wiring? is it as simply as adding new wire and connect same wiring from and existing light switch to the new power point switch?

[@user-fu7rd9li9k]

Some of these powerpoints come with a red & black wire coming from the USB hub (presumably active/neutral), where do those go?

[@connorparsons5404]

To the active and neutral terminals on the back where the 240 wire goes

[@user-fu7rd9li9k]

@@connorparsons5404 thanks for the reply. That's what I assumed but wasn't sure. I didn't think the little USB transformer would need a 240 supply but now I think about it, it's basically just a little inbuilt wall wart isn't it?

[@allelectricalau]

Depends on the brand and the wiring configuration

[@AlerionKws]

Is it legal for a homeowner to do their own power sockets or lights?

[@allelectricalau]

It's not legal due to dangerous nature. Changing a light globe is fine but anything more is considered dangerous. Im not 100% on this but im sure if you google your energy authority regulator they could tell you.

[@risingphoenix01]

@@allelectricalau You are correct! In Australia, you need to have a qualified electrician complete any electrical work domestically or commercially. As a DYI'er you also need to be extremely careful, not just undertaking electrical work but insurance companies will void any policy you may have with them in the event of a claim.

[@VW_Fan]

@@risingphoenix01 Genuine question - how would they actually know who did the work?

[@T_Mack9]

​@@VW_Fan because a licensed electrician does the time to learn the relevant code and regulations to make it safe and will supply a certificate of electrical safety upon completion

[@VW_Fan]

@@T_Mack9 You're missing my point. If there is fire, how would the insurance company actually know a licenced electrician did the work or not. How could they prove it? Any certificates are probably lost in the fire. I doubt many houses have them or all electrical work anyway.

[@Colstah]

240 volts actually

[@allelectricalau]

No its actually 230v now in Aus

[@LoganT547]

@@allelectricalau Yes that's the standard, but the voltage will fluctuate with time from 230-250V based upon the energy usage for your grid
