How do you wire a three phase supply to a distribution board?

In: Electrical Wiring, 50 Hertz Residential Electricity [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer for countries in Europe and other world areas running a 50 Hz power supply service.

Depends if it is the supply cable you are wiring or a cable to the outgoing side. If it is the supply cable you are connecting, call your electricity supply company.

They are the only ones authorised to do that work.

<><><>

Three phase will be at 415V. So proceed with caution! If you want to install a new branch circuit cable you need to be sure you have a three phase supply with a triple pole breaker.

If you don't know what you are doing then don't try it as you can easily damage the equipment or yourself!

Call a licensed electrician to advise you and quote for doing the job safely and correctly.

<><><>

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,
on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,
always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.

IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOB
SAFELY AND COMPETENTLY
REFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
