any one knows there is any diff on electric tariff bill between single phase and three phase?

Tarif would be the same for 1phase or 3phase.

U need 3phase when ur load exceed 10kW or 50A

Thanks. You are electrician? Haha, just wondering whether it is worth to do.
(read the cost could go to replace could go to 10k)
Currently, have 5 airconds. But usually only 2 airconds will on simultaneously.
Perhaps during CNY, will on like 4 units together, for a week.

When u replace ur single phase meter to 3 phase meter u should balance ur load accordingly & this might involved rewiring internal load.

Or u can let it be but if like that what is the purpose of changing to 3phase? Or possible ur gonna planning for future sub-DB which only u know ur future usage

actually 3 Phase will save alot electric bill compare to 1 phase?

my house normally only turn on 2 aircond at the night , 1 normal fridge , 1 normal topload washing machine and LED downlight

if changing to 3 phase will make huge electric saving price?

Its not really to save energy but more for a better electrical load management


According to tnb,

WHEN TO CHANGE

You are advised to change from a single-phase supply to a 3-phase supply when your household electricity load exceeds 10kW or 50A. As a rule of thumb, if you have three (3) or more air conditioners in your home, you should upgrade to a 3-phase supply as it will increase stability and reliability of electricity supply.
