Hi folks.
The architect has finished the plans for the workshop at my new house and I’m off to speak with the various trades to get started on the build.
I’ll be having the house rewire at the same time along with a new smart meter fitted. There’s going to be a couple of runs of buried ducting (running services to the workshop - water, data and electric).
If I’m ever going to look at having 3 phase installed, it’s now.
Aside from the workshop benefits and the availability of larger equipment without phase convertors, we’re also running electric cars and need a new wall box - for which it is becoming increasingly popular to switch to 3 phase to enable the bigger faster chargers to be run in a domestic setting.
I’m aware that the major cost is often having the supply brought to the house by the utility company, being based on the distance from the nearest supply.
But what am I looking for? Is it a certain type of pylon, or a big transformer or something like that? Ideally I’m after a google image of the thing I’m looking for and I’ll have a walk around to look for one to see how far away from the property it is to see if it’s feasible.
Thank you.
