As technology advances the demand on your home electrical systems increases. Between larger solar systems and inverters, pool filters, and electric car chargers the traditional single phase electrical system at your home needs to be improved to keep up with demand. This is where 3 phase power comes in. Three phase power provides a stronger and unfaltering current to meet the demands of larger appliances in your home. Triforce Electricity and Air offer all your three phase connection needs to ensure your electrical system meets demands.
Electricity flows like the tides move over time going up and down or positive and negative. this can be graphed creating a sine curve. However, there is one major flaw with single phase electricity is that it intermittently drops out when the current drops below the neutral line this reduces the efficiency of energy-hungry appliances as they receive less power. A three phase power system remedies this by having three separate currents running simultaneously with a slight delay between each current this will ensure that there is always a current at or near maximum power.
Modern appliances such as pool filters, air conditioners, electric vehicle chargers and large hot water systems need a 3 phase power supply to operate. These appliances require higher loads of electricity and the normal single phase current is not powerful enough and the oscillating dropout of current doesn't allow the appliance to operate efficiently.
Most Australian power lines run 3 phase electricity and your home will generally either have one of those phases connected or will have all three connected at the fuse box which is then split up into single phases for your home. An easy way to tell if your home has three phase electric power is to check your switchboard. To check this locate the “main switch” on your switchboard if this switch is a combination of three switches stuck together you have three-phase power if there is only one switch you have a single phase. If your home only has single phase you will need to contact your local electricity suppliers to see if 3 phase power is available at your home. If you do have three phase the next step is to contact our team at Triforce Electricity and Air as our team are experts in all things three phase alternating current.

A single phase switchboard installed on most homes doesn't have the right hardware and ratings to allow for a three phase connection. The old three phase power board at your home also may not be rated for the current electrical demands on your home this can lead to switches tripping or even worse electrical fires. A three phase switchboard upgrade will ensure your home or business is ready for a three phase power connection or ensure that it can keep up with the demands of your property. As part of a switchboard upgrade the team at Triforce Electrical and Air will determine the current electrical loads on your switchboard and install a system that not only meets current loads but future-proofs your home for increases in demand down the track.
