the website shows how to get 3 phase 415V from single phase 240V..it's a totally different thing

So it is possible to do the conversion with $1k+ RM via a switchboard?  That is quite interesting. Any electrician contacts for Johor, please?

sorry which page is the completed pics on ?

ur house 22x70 looks much more bigger than mine,
I think the main reason because my 22x70 staircase is facing the middle instead of side.

It may also be because I breakdown 1 room -dry kitchen (if you see in the beginning of this topic-pre hacking)
and I flatten out the front wall thus making the space bigger. 

Hi Phoenix69, thanks for the prompt reply.

I called 1 of the TNB approved contractor, what he told me is the same as what you have stated. In addition, he mentioned that if there is any cabling to be done, it will be charged per meter basis. He did not mentioned how much is that. He said that the length of the cable depends on how far the meter from the 'tiang' but I am guessing he is talking about underground? Need to verify on this.

If you don't mind, could you share with me your electrical contractor? I need to double check on the price. Thank you.

pm-ed

Hey Bro... nice flooring u have. From the pic I assume that the workmanship is good. Could you pls pm me the contractor no.? TQ! 

Can i have the number of the tiling sifu too?Thanks in advance

Updates : Upgrading to 3 phase wiring.
Finally got the house wiring to 3 phase.
This was planned initially but it got delayed due to
1. The electrical wiring contractor left this final thing undone when he "disappered" (after taking the full payment  )
2. $$$ habis, so need time to recover. 
I thought it would be complicated but it was surprisingly easy.

Step 1: TNB Application for 3 phase upgrade
- Go to TNB and apply (I went when they have a special offer, they waive their TNB connection charges)
Note: There is 2 types of connection, overhead and underground, the overhead connection type were waived)
- Hire a qualified electrician contractor registered with TNB (TNB will give you a list for you to choose)
- The electrician will visit your house and ensure that your house wiring is ready for the upgrade (in my case, it was already done)
Step 2: Pay Bill
- The electrician will arrange for the upgrade with TNB and top up the extra deposit for you.
- You have to pay all your outstanding bills with TNB
Note: Alternatively the next TNB bill will also include the Deposit top up amount, you can pay the deposit when you pay that bill.
Step 3: Re-wiring
- TNB will arrange people to make an appointment to rewire your main line to 3 phase configuration


Note: When the meter is installed, it starts at "0000000"
Khaw Thim 

Finally my house is running on 3 phase - hopefully this will allow me to turn my house in to an icebox without the fuse tripping 

Many of the terms I use here is wrong as I am not a technical man and try to explain to the best of my limited ability and understanding.

Feel free to correct any error that you see. 

Bro Phoenix... May I have ur approved electrician contact please. Currently doing renovation for my house.  Tq!

My new born baby came home last weekend and I had to to lots of washing, lots of pooo pooo 
Didn't realise now much washing activity a baby can incur...

hi, where u get this?? mind to share? thanks .

Unusual Power Blackout

Tried finding a thread to share this but can't find the appropriate topic.

Something I consider weird happened to my electricity supply, actually it happened my whole neighborhood yesterday.

1. There was a blackout, (neighbors confirmed that they also experienced the same blackout)
- but still have power from selected wall socket, 
e.g. fridge down, Thermo pot ok, rice cooker ok, sterilizer down 
- They are all from the same row of power socket I the kitchen.

2. Power was restored
- but only to the front portion of the house, back kitchen and room no power. 
e.g. Front living room got light, back no light 
(neighbor has similar experience but vice versa back got light, front got no light)

3. Called TNB, then no light or power totally. 

4. Saw them go to the TNB power hut near by, tinker for 30 min then full power restored everywhere. 

I've always thought when there was a power supply disruption, it would be total but in this case got partial one 

You are using 3 phase supply, one or two phase fuse trip. It could be uneven load, or some house got it trip after short it to neutral. Or maybe the fused on the power pole are due for replacment.

Oh, this mean that this situation only happens to those with 3phase, not single phase.
