347/600 volts installation

Powering a business with electricity can be a daunting experience. If you don’t have a degree in electrical engineering, chances are you won’t understand the subtle nuances of power use and how it is distributed.

When you need to provide electrical power – internally and externally – to your business, you need a commercial electrician to install the components to convert electrical power to satisfy the needs of your business.

At Integrity Electricians, we will be the labour and intelligence you need to get your business running with high power demands with our 347/600 volts installation service. But what is a 347/600 volts installation? We will tell you what it is and why you need it.

Why Use A 347V Circuit?

There is a reason the 347V circuit is widespread, and that it is because it is economical. The 347V circuit will accommodate many more light fixtures per breaker than other types of circuits. The second reason to use 347V is direct wiring into your facility’s electrical grid; you don’t need a transformer for the application.

Who Uses A 347V Circuit?

A 347V circuit is used to illuminate commercial enterprises. When we say that, we mean institutional settings like hospitals, commercial settings like offices where many people are situated, and industrial capacities where many lines produce the finished products.

What is 600V Wire?

That is easy; it is the maximum rating the wire can accept before problems arise. One of the great things about it is that it is never exposed to 600V and covers the working range of most equipment on the line. It works in environments where three-phase power is prevalent.

Three-Phase Supply

Without getting too technical, three-phase in a lower voltage like 347V means it will be line to neutral voltage. When using 600V, it is a line-to-line voltage. Many applications require three-phase systems, and we have worked with all of them at Integrity Electricians.

Here are some of the benefits of using three-phase power for motors and transformers:

• Smaller machinery – than a single-phase – for the same output rating.
• No starter is needed.
• Economical and more efficient – it costs less.
• Improved power factor
• Uses less conductor materials.
• It can transmit up to three times more power than a single-phase system.
• Less weight strain.

Upon review, the 347/600V three-phase, four-wire system is the single most common electrical service used in commercial facilities in Canada. Generally, the service is installed in medium to large operations based on the utility of use and all the features it can accommodate other than lighting your business.
