Rewiring Jurong West
Rewiring in Jurong West is normally driven by age, added load or a consumer unit that no longer meets current requirements, rather than by a single fault.
Why this is different here
HDB began planning the Jurong West new town in 1984, and the first flats in the wider Jurong area were completed at Taman Jurong in 1963. Flats of that generation were wired for the electrical load of their time, so the recurring work here is added circuits, more socket outlets, and consumer units that predate modern residual current protection.
What actually happens
- Older consumer units may predate modern residual current protection.
- Socket-outlet counts reflect the era, so added points are common work.
- Repeated tripping on one circuit usually means load or a fault on that circuit, not the board.
