Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is considered low voltage in caravan and RV electrical systems?
In Australia, low voltage typically refers to systems operating at 12V or 24V DC, commonly used in caravans, RVs, camper trailers, and off-grid applications. These systems power lighting, refrigeration, water pumps, and device charging without requiring 240V mains supply.
Are all your low voltage components compliant with Australian standards?
Yes. At Electrotraders, we only stock products that comply with relevant Australian regulations or are suitable for extra-low voltage applications where standards allow. Our range is hand-picked by electricians to ensure safe and legal use.
What’s the difference between a fuse and a circuit breaker in a 12V system?
A fuse is a single-use safety device that melts when overloaded, while a circuit breaker can be reset after tripping. Both protect wiring and appliances from overcurrent damage. Fuses are ideal for fixed protection, while resettable circuit breakers are preferred in high-use or mission-critical setups.
Can I use these products in marine or off-grid applications too?
Absolutely. Our blade fuses, fuse holders, circuit breakers, and ELV switches are all suitable for marine, off-grid, and mobile applications where 12V or 24V systems are used. Many of our products are weather-resistant and designed for rugged environments.
Why use ELV (Extra Low Voltage) switches instead of regular 240V switches?
ELV switches are purpose-built for 12V/24V systems and ensure safe switching of low voltage DC current. Using 240V-rated switches in ELV systems can result in poor contact, arcing, or switch failure. Our switches are rated specifically for low voltage control.
What fuse size should I choose for my 12V device?
Fuse size depends on the current draw of the device and the wiring size. You should always size your fuse to protect the wiring, not just the device. For accurate sizing, refer to manufacturer specifications or consult a licensed auto-electrician.
Do I need a fuse box for multiple accessories in my van or camper?
Yes. If you're running multiple circuits (e.g. lights, fridge, pump), a dedicated fuse block helps organize and protect each circuit safely. We stock a range of 4 to 10-way fuse blocks ideal for caravan and RV setups.
