What is a 3 Phase Switchboard?

A 3-phase electrical switchboard has four wires, one neutral and three active. This type of switchboard is powerful enough to successfully power three-phase electrical systems. They are often installed in commercial or larger buildings due to the number of electrical systems. However, they can also be installed in residential homes, especially larger ones, where there are more systems and appliances.

Most homes in Australia have single-phase power but if you have a larger home, you might be connected to the grid by a 3 phase switchboard upgrade. Electricity is generated and distributed in 3 phases, so you see multiple overhead cables on the poles in the street. Having 3 phase switchboard allows us to have both 240V and 415V power from the same electricity supply. If you have a big home, we suggest you do a 3 phase switchboard upgrade soon.

5 Main reasons for 3-Phase Switchboard Upgrade & Installation

You may well ask yourself “Do I Need Three-Phase Upgrade Power?” The answer to that all depends on the types of appliances you are running in your home.

Most domestic residences only require single phase power and as such, single phase is the standard for all homes being connected to the grid. Appliances such as ovens, fridges, freezers, televisions and dryers all run smoothly on single phase power. As do your lights. You can even charge your Tesla Car Charger on single phase power.

The main reasons why a person would choose to install a 3-phase system into their home are:

They offer much more power and are more reliable at keeping systems safe
When 3-phase systems, machinery or appliances are being installed within the home
Air conditioning often needs a lot of power where 3-phase systems can support this
Older ovens, fridges, washing machines and other appliances which are being replaced and the new ones need more power
The old electrical system is too dangerous to keep and needs replacing

These are often the main driving factors which will influence a person installing the new 3-phase switchboard. From safety reasons to the need for a higher power supply, the 3-phase system is beneficial. If you’re looking to do a 3 Phase switchboard upgrade, call one of Sharpe Service’s certified electricians Adelaide today to inquire.

5 Benefits of 3 Phase Switchboard Upgrade

There are many benefits which come with installing and doing a 3-phase switchboard upgrade in your home:

Upgrading a single phase switchboard to a 3-phase is easy and not too complicated. A level 2 electrician will be able to work with the switchboard to replace the old one safely. Installing the new one and connecting all the parts, such as the safety switches and circuit breakers, are carried out expertly
3-phase switchboards will never drop the power supply to zero. This is ideal for commercial buildings and also is beneficial to residential homes
Energy loss is decreased, meaning the system is more energy efficient. It uses energy more effectively and as much as it can without wasting a large amount
Any electrical equipment or appliances which run on 3-phase will last longer connected to the correct switchboard. The power distribution will be correct and the system is receiving its proper power need. This will allow the systems to last longer and decrease the potential of problems
As the system is more efficient and built with modern technology there are less parts involved. This means that it is overall cheaper to run due to not using as much electricity or power

Making the 3-phase switchboard upgrade comes with many positives that will save people money, time and worries. Call one of Sharpe Service’s certified electricians Adelaide today!
