Single-phase vs. Three-phase Supply

A single-phase meter measures usage from a 230 volt supply through two (2) wires, and a 3-phase meter is supplied with 415 volts through four (4) wires.

You are advised to change from a single-phase supply to a 3-phase supply when your household electricity load
exceeds 10kW or 50A.  Generally, you should change to a 3-phase supply when there are three (3) or more air-
conditioners in your home.

Upgrading to a 3-phase supply will increase stability and reliability of electricity supply to your premises.

How to Upgrade

You may submit your application to upgrade to 3-phase supply via a qualified electrical contractor registered with the Energy Commission.
