QUOTE(acbc @ Jan 4 2011, 04:45 PM) Nope. 3 phase will lessen the chance of tripping and brownouts only. Contractors will say anything to earn more money. the other advantage i heard is that if your area is blackout your house will still be lighted up as the current will be drawn from another 'line'... |

QUOTE(PJusa @ Jan 6 2011, 09:40 AM) numbertwo, true enuf...TNB has surprisingly implemented a few KPIs for their services.. including cutting off my condo's electricity supply within 7 days after the notice! But if I paid the next day at Kedai Tenaga I'm getting back the elec supply by 7PM the same day..lol..super efficient..And I'm talking about similar incidence (means my supply got cutoff twice) happened within 2 mths period.. that totally depends on what phases are hit. my area : rarely one phase or two only hit. most of the times all phases are off. but yes, if only one phase hit (and i have no power) my neighbours are with 3phase are lucky still can do whatever cause they have power. but then again TNB is very quick in fixing issues. hardly ever have outages that exceed 30 minutes and outages are really quite rare these days it seems. maybe 1 tops two per year.  ... |

Item one is very much depending on how close is your meter board to the nearest TNB Pole.. but 5.5K is a lot! My previous quote came to about 8K inclusive everything but we decide not to proceed as there is really no need for that...

...i also know that some fellas do it on their own, meaning to register/apply with TNB and get TNB to recommend licensed co. to do the work instead of letting the contractor sucking a bit here n there..within 5K in my area.

for a small family (i' mean 2 kids and your the other half) it really serves no purpose..except for one advantage whereby when your area is trip , houses with 3-phase wiring may still draw current from other source and light up your house! how cool eh? So is a 'cool factor too!

true enuf..i envy my neighbours who has lights on during the black-out... but hey..i realise that the current stability of the elect supply is much better than say 5 yrs back(...errr..touchwood) ...so this 3 phase thingy is no longer a need now.
