Single Phase vs 3 Phase Consumer Mains
If you home is setup for 1 phase, it means that you have 1 cable feeding your home for all the electricity requirements. Think of the supply like a water pipe – the one cable has only a certain capacity which is 63amps. If you exceed this, you are requesting more electricity than what your cabling is capable of and may cause the cable to start to burn. Similar to the concept of 1 phase Electricity, 3 Phase Electricity is 3 separate 63amp cables coming into your home which allows you to spread load requirements evenly over the cables you have. If you are a high electricity user, you can balance the electricity load in your home and not put your homes electrical system under excessive loads which lead to cable burning and fires. Some appliances require connection to a three-phase supply and cable so the device can get a consistent and uninterrupted power delivery.
What are common reasons why consumer mains are defected?
If your home was built before 1980, the electrical standards were a lot more relaxed compared to what they are today. Back then the standard size required for consumer mains was 6mm. For comparisons, by todays standard 6mm is the recommended size for an oven cable only – so imagine running your whole house on one 6mm cable! For this reason, we strongly recommend upgrading your consumer mains from 6mm to 16mm XLPE cable
What is the minimum size for consumer mains today?
As you can imagine, the electrical requirements in homes was no where near the demand which we have today to run air conditioners, electric car chargers, ovens, cooktops, televisions and other high power draw appliances. Todays electrical standards now mandate copper 16mm XLPE is used as the minimum size for residential homes electricity supply.
Consumer Mains Upgrade
When we perform upgrades in residential homes, we run new 16mm XLPE cable, replace the service fuses, and install a earth rod and earthing system which are all mandated in the “Service & Installation Rules July 2018”. For more information, visit the Energy NSW website.
