Supply of consumer mains cables and services from road to house

Power is supplied from the road side to the house and is underground in most installations. Some older installations are supplied from the air via power poles. New builds such as houses, blocks of flats and apartments, are generally built on existing sites and may require mains (power cable) upgrades to supply the capacity required.

Electrical calculations is a necessity to help ensure capacity will meet the maximum demand of the power required. If not done correctly, this could be a costly exercise to redo and/or restrict the amount of power that may be consumed. Using a certified design will ensure the design meets the requirements before the work is commenced and the cables are buried/placed in the ground.
