When You Need a 3 Phase Power Upgrade
Your home’s electrical capacity determines what appliances and equipment you can run simultaneously. If you’re installing an EV charger, adding ducted air conditioning, planning a large solar system, or running power-hungry equipment, a 3 phase power upgrade might be essential.
Electric vehicle charging benefits from 3 phase power, with chargers delivering up to 22kW compared to 7kW on single phase. Large ducted air conditioning systems often require 3 phase for efficient operation. Solar installations benefit through higher export limits, up to 30kW on 3 phase versus 5kW on single phase. Home workshops with machinery and multiple high-power appliances running simultaneously need 3 phase to prevent overload issues.
Understanding 3 Phase Power
Single phase power delivers electricity through one active wire and one neutral, providing 230 volts. Three phase power uses three active wires and one neutral, with each active wire carrying current offset by 120 degrees. This provides more stable, balanced power delivery. Power capacity increases substantially. Single phase typically provides 63 to 100 amps, while 3 phase effectively provides 189 amps total across three phases. Power delivery never drops to zero because the three phases peak at different times, creating continuous flow that benefits motors and high-power appliances.
The 3 Phase Power Upgrade Process
Upgrading requires Level 2 electrician expertise and distributor coordination. Property assessment confirms 3 phase availability, then applications get submitted to energy distributors. Switchboard replacement with 3 phase units, service main upgrades installing new cabling, meter replacements, and internal wiring modifications all get completed with proper load balancing across three phases.
Switchboard Upgrades for 3 Phase Power
Three phase switchboards contain three active bus bars with circuit breakers connecting to individual phases. Modern 3 phase switchboards include RCD protection across all phases, proper labelling, and capacity for future additions. All switchboard work complies with Australian Standards including proper earthing, circuit protection, and safety switches, with compliance certification provided upon completion.
Benefits of 3 Phase Power Upgrades
Increased electrical capacity means running multiple high-power appliances simultaneously without overload. Improved efficiency comes from balanced load distribution, with equipment running more efficiently and using less energy. Future-proofing your property for electric vehicles, large solar systems, and efficient appliances prevents future limitations. Property value improvements result from electrical infrastructure upgrades, increasing appeal to buyers needing substantial capacity.
Costs and Considerations
Three phase power upgrade costs vary based on distance from street infrastructure, underground versus overhead installation, switchboard complexity, and required internal wiring. Typical upgrades range from $5,000 to $10,000 depending on these factors. Detailed quotes itemise all costs including distributor charges for connection work, with no hidden charges.

Customer Testimonials
Honest Reviews from our Customers
Jane Anderson
Erina Property Owner
“Our old timber power pole was deteriorating badly and needed replacement. This seemed like a complex job involving the electricity distributor, and I wasn’t sure where to start. Matt handled absolutely everything.
He assessed the pole, explained what needed doing, provided a detailed quote, and coordinated all the distributor requirements. The whole process was seamless from our perspective, Matt managed all the complicated bits and kept us informed throughout.
The new pole installation was completed professionally and passed all inspections first time. Really impressed with how Matt handled a project that could have been a nightmare of coordination and paperwork. Would definitely recommend Connekt Electrical for this type of specialised work.”
David T.

“Had a genuinely scary situation on a Sunday evening, sparking from our switchboard and burning smell. Called Connekt Electrical’s emergency number not really expecting anyone to answer, but Matt picked up immediately. He asked questions to assess the situation, told us to turn off power at the main switch, and said he’d be there within the hour.
True to his word, he arrived quickly, diagnosed the problem (loose connection causing dangerous arcing), and fixed it properly. He didn’t rush the job despite it being Sunday night, made sure everything was completely safe, and explained what had caused the problem.
Really appreciated the rapid response and professional service during what was a stressful situation. The pricing was fair even for emergency callout. This is the kind of reliable service you want to know exists when emergencies happen.”
