Your business is a power-intensive operation; you have equipment that requires high operational and running currents hence the need for a three-phase electrical system. Apartment buildings, factories, and office buildings are prime candidates for a three-phase electrical installation.

Three-phase wiring is used to run heavy equipment in your business, like large HVAC systems, pumps, air compressors, and high-torque motors. It isn’t used in residential applications but can be found in commercial buildings, offices, and industrial installations.

AC Supply in Three Phases

AC power is generated in three phases and uses an alternator to transfer power to the equipment. The alternator has three separate coils separated by degrees of rotation, and the current created is separated by degrees – generally 120 degrees.

Transmission lines carry the current to its desired destination; the current from the transformer goes to the point of service operating on a 415V phase to phase, phase to neutral.

A three-phase wiring system will operate lighting, appliances, and receptacles with a connection between phase and neutral. For larger equipment like A/C units and electric heaters, it is wired phase to phase.

To balance your connection, you generally see a three-phase four-wire connection combining small and large electrical loads. Most businesses require this as they run different equipment that draws different current levels to operate their respective companies.

When using a three-phase system, you can generate more power and save money on system installation because you use less cable and fewer electrical devices to streamline your electrical use.

Suppose you operate a hotel, grocery store, restaurant, or office building that draws a large amount of power for refrigeration. In that case, the three-phase system for power allocation and management is what you need.

Your Industrial Concern Needs a Three-Phase Electrical Delivery System.

A three-phase power operation system is the only way to keep your heavy equipment operating. A busbar carries the phased power from connections to loads via a cable connection from the electrical system. Power from the utility company is connected to the main breaker and, in turn, funnelled into a three-phase energy meter. When the power is sent to the breaker, it is transferred to busbars and down the line.

The panel at the main breaker is the brain of the operation containing a display for current, voltage, energy and power. Power runs through a distribution board to heavy machinery, lighting boards, and electrical sockets.

Operating your facility effectively when drawing multiple levels of power means that you need a three-phase system; if you don’t have one, an upgrade is necessary. The cost of electricity has gone through the roof, and using less means more.

Reducing power consumption through efficient, effective wiring and distribution systems will increase the bottom line over time. The nickels and dimes you spend today are the dollars you save tomorrow. It is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint to help with air quality, and that is something we can all get behind.

As your electrical partner, we at Integrity Electricians will provide expert advice in the consultancy phase of your project development to help you get the most out of your electrical service to power your business at the least possible cost.

Increased facility efficiency means you can generate higher profits for a small investment. The efficiency you create will help your employers perform better, making them more productive, and that improves morale.

Competing globally in the 21st century means your business needs to be at the cutting edge of technology. There is no point in having the newest best equipment if you can’t operate efficiently in a cost-effective manner, and that is why you need a three-phase installation for your business.
