minus-squareEevoltic [she/her]@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-210 months agoNo, we have two switches. One says main and does something (not sure), and the other is unlabelled and is the main switch Edit: picture
minus-squareCatfishlinkfedilinkarrow-up6·10 months agoThat fuse box is no longer legal and requires replacement. The lack of earth is also a problem that they MUST fix. VCAT asap if they push back.

minus-squareDuenanlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·10 months agoI had one of those recently and I had to get it changed out due to regulations to an updated one with safety breakers on it. The people installing the new hot water system nearly didn’t want to install it with the old power board in.
minus-squareCatfishlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·10 months agoProbably not. It depends how many circuits the place has. In a unit all the points are probably on the same one. You could turn all the outlets off and still have lights, but not a subset of outlets.
