Three-phase power upgrades in Melbourne

Do you need a three-phase power upgrade?

New equipment does not automatically mean you need a three-phase supply. The equipment requirements, available capacity and existing circuits need assessing first. Start with what you want to power rather than assuming an upgrade is necessary.

What a three-phase power upgrade involves

• The existing supply and switchboard
• The power requirements of the equipment you want to use
• Any application or approval the electricity distributor requires
• The electrical work and what is included in the quote
• Who coordinates the connection, testing and documentation
• The timing and any planned power interruption

Planning power for your home or business

The right setup depends on the property and its equipment. Tell the team what is already installed, what you are adding and any plans for later. Equipment model numbers or a layout can help them understand the job.

What affects the cost and timing of an upgrade?

The existing supply, switchboard, cabling, access and distributor requirements all affect the project. Ask for a written scope and quote, including any assessment or call-out charge. Confirm who is responsible for each part of the connection before work is booked.
