Should A Woman Be Allowed to hold the office of President of the USA?

[Yellowtail]

I am thinking of buying a new home and would like to upgrade the power to three-phase.

 

Looking at the photo below, does it look like 3-phase is available?

 

 

 

 

 

[terryq]

Yes.

[Yellowtail]

So four wires are three-phases and a neutral, and no ground, correct? 

[terryq]

Yes , neutral is likely grounded every 3rd pole.  

 

The ground will be a separate wire running down the pole to ground or as I have seen in some older installations, joined to the protruding rebar at the top of the pole.  Of course you will still be providing your local earth.

Yes, it's available. 

 

Send a photo of the electricity meter. 

You may already have 3phase.

My guess would be......NO

 

I have 3 phase electricity in my house and outside in the road there are 5 lines

 

One for each phase, one ground and one for street lighting.

Yes looks like 3 phase. from top to bottom is neutral, phase 3,2,1

[Crossy]

Yup, 3-phase supply is available.

 

Ground is not supplied by the MEA/PEA although the neutral is usually grounded every 3rd pole of so for a TNC-S (MEN) system.

 

It is worth talking to the local PEA office to check what they will actually provide.

@Yellowtail . I've got a 3 phase supply to my house.

I  am only using 3 phase multipoint instant water heaters. 

I treat the 3 phase supply as 3 single phases.

Give us a yell if I can help.

Only two wires going from the pole to the house.

Thanks, I want three-phase for air conditioning and a few old machine tools I have.
