Three-phase power.
Single-phase is what most houses have and it runs most things. Some things it doesn't: big welders, compressors, cool rooms, large pumps, machinery with motors above a few kilowatts. Kayden installs three-phase circuits, outlets and boards where a property already has three-phase supply, and tells you straight if it doesn't.
In short
Three-phase power runs equipment single-phase can't: large welders, air compressors, cool rooms and big pumps. We install three-phase circuits, outlets and boards on properties around Dungog, Gresford and the Hunter that already have three-phase supply.

If the property only has single-phase coming in, getting three-phase means an application to the network provider and sometimes a new service. Kayden can scope it, tell you what's involved and handle the electrical side once the supply is there.
What the job involves
- Three-phase sub-mains and distribution boards
- Three-phase outlets and isolators for welders, compressors and machinery
- Motor circuits with the right protection
- Balancing loads across phases so one isn't doing all the work
- Checking whether your existing supply can carry what you're planning
When you need it
- A new machine, compressor or cool room needs a three-phase plug
- Single-phase equipment is struggling or tripping under load
- You're building a workshop and want it done once
What changes the price
- Whether three-phase is already at the property
- Distance from the main board to where you need it
- The number of outlets and the size of the machinery
- Any board upgrade needed to carry the extra circuits
What NSW requires
- Three-phase equipment needs proper isolation and protection matched to the load
- Supply changes at the street or meter involve the network provider, and network-side work is restricted to Accredited Service Providers. Kayden can tell you the parts he can and can't do
- A Certificate of Compliance covers the installation
What Kayden needs from you to quote
- A photo of your meter box and main switchboard
- The nameplate of the machinery you want to run
- Where it's going
Questions about three-phase power
How do I know if my property has three-phase power?
Look in the meter box: three-phase usually has three main fuses or a three-pole main switch instead of one. The easiest way is to text Kayden a photo of the meter box and switchboard and he'll tell you.
What needs three-phase?
Large welders, air compressors, cool rooms, big pumps and workshop machinery with larger motors. Most household appliances run fine on single-phase.
Can you add three-phase if I only have single-phase?
The supply upgrade needs an application to the network provider, and network-side work has to be done by an Accredited Service Provider. Kayden can tell you the parts he can and can't do, and explain the steps.
