bankruatsteve Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Not sure where you want to go with this? Normal installation would be using a 3-phase consumer unit (distribution board). Same for the pool if you need 3-phase there or a sub off one of the phases. What is the issue with contractor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surelynot Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Doubt it is three phase....that is usually only supplied to heavy industrial users. Domestic supply is single phase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNX69 Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 Thanks, Yes i understand, i need 3-phase consumer unit (distribution board),but which one i need something that will last at least 5 year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNX69 Posted September 10, 2020 Author Share Posted September 10, 2020 it will be 3 phase and PEA approved. Did not ask for advice about phase. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to laugh but that is not the usual requirement. Maybe Crossy can recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The challenge might be to efficiently balance the loads (per phase). So, you're just looking for equipment recommendation and possibly "stuff" other than breakers to go along with it? Will you be wanting generator backup now or in the future? Again, Crossy is most qualified to recommend for that. He should be along shortly.

Crossy Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 A prospective load of over 10kW is going to be looking at 3-phase. But our OP already knows that. As noted above a 15/45 3-phase supply should do the trick and be available over most of the country. Run a sub-main for your pool etc. make it 3-phase if the load requires it, I'd guesstimate a 20A 3-phase sub. Make sure that the sub is protected by an RCD/RCBO.

Fitting it when you are getting the system installed is simple, easy, does no harm and is cheap, doing it later is probably few of those. You should also get a main surge protector installed at the same time, it’s not going to do anything much if you get a lightning strike very near but will be cheap insurance for other surges. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kamalabob2 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 The OP would benefit to go see a LICENSED electrical contractor in his province. Who has residential references and a copy of his license. In 2008 I paid a licensed electrical contractor in Buriram to provide power poles, cables, 3 phase transformer, etc. That licensed electrical contractor worked with my home designer, and the not so licensed electricians who were working days for the electrical contractor building the Buriram BigC. I was able to see homes done by both teams. I was able to speak with home owners and see their Schneider electrical panels. The home builder in my case WAS NOT a certified electrician, so he had nothing to do with electrical choices and nothing to do with electrical installations. Frankly I see first hand "builders" who have little to no real electrical knowledge go and try to do the electrics in a home which often leads to trouble. Wrong size main feed cables, wrong size cables from load center to hot water heaters, the list goes on and on. But a licensed electrical contractor can eliminate these problems. I saved the booklet submitted by my licensed electrical contractor to the PEA office in Satuk for the approval of 3 phase power to my home. I show that document to folks who have electrical questions in Buriram. Buriram Home with 3 phase electrical Transformer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
