Protect Your Family by Upgrading Your DB Box

Many people do not know this but a lot of house fires in Malaysia start from old or overloaded DB boxes. In Klang and Bukit Rimau, many homes built in the 60s and 70s are still using their original distribution boards. These old plastic boxes and old circuit breakers cannot handle today’s heavy electrical use.

The biggest danger of these old DB boxes is that they do not always trip when overloaded. Electricity keeps flowing which makes wires overheat, damages insulation, and can even cause a fire.

Many homes also have too few sockets so people use several extension cords. Sometimes 8 to 10 devices are connected to one socket. This puts extra strain on old wiring and DB boxes. Upgrading your DB box is not about style it is about keeping your family safe.

What a Modern DB Box Should Have

If you are upgrading your DB box in Bukit Rimau make sure it includes:

• High Quality MCB
  C6 for lights and fans and C16 for power sockets. Good MCBs trip quickly during overload.
• RCCB to Replace Old ELCB
  40A 30mA for sockets and 40A 100mA for lights and fans. Protects against shocks and leakage.
• 63A Main Switch
  Allows you to safely turn off the power during maintenance or emergencies.
• Copper Busbar
  Distributes electricity better and keeps voltage stable.
• Surge Protection Device
  Protects TVs fridges computers and other devices during thunderstorms.
• Metal Box
  Safer and more heat resistant than plastic boxes and protects better in case of sparks.

Why Brand and Installation Are Important

Trusted brands like EPS Maxguard ABB and Hager last 15 to 20 years with proper installation. Cheap mixed parts may fail early and can cause loose connections and tripping problems.

Signs You Should Replace Your DB Box

You should act if you see:

• DB box older than 10 to 15 years
• Power trips when starting AC or washing machine
• Box is discolored cracked or smells burnt
• Not enough sockets so extension cords are used
• Messy wiring no labels or multiple circuits sharing one MCB
• No RCCB or using old ELCB
• Multiple wires in one MCB
