Hi anyone can share any contact for tnb certified panel electrician?

Want to upgrade my house wiring to 3 phase and rewiring entire house to wires that able to support 100amps.
*
100 amps? may not need 3 phase wiring.

try talking to tnb for allowing changing the cut out and cut out fuse too 100amps. if they say ok then it is all good.
but make sure your rcb and mcb are rated properly.

Bro prefer to rewrite entire house wiring and change it to 3phase (3 fius at tnb panel also change to 100amps.)

One room want to put mining machine. Roughly around 1300-1500watt one unit machine. Prefer to use this to maximum.

Plus entire house got 6aircond.

Why’s yr suggestion?

well...........

6 aircon running at the same time assuming 800watts each will be about 21 amps.
lighting 7 amps would be more than enough assuming you turn them all on at the same time can supply total lighting up to 1540 watts.
and if using shower water heater will be 15 amps.

assuming all those running at peak capacity at the same time (which is very unlikely) you still have 57 amps left which can supply up to 12540 watts.

so..........you need to do your math and think about it.

And if unbalance current phasing example
Red 2kw
Blue 3kw

Maybe. Best to ask tnb.

Can’t you make it more balance?

So can I do like this

Red = 5 power points (around 8kw / 32amp)
Yellow = 5 power points (around 8kw / 32amp)
Blue = 5 points (around 8kw / 32amp)

But all those I mentioned in a SINGLE room.

Make it more balance.
*
Yes you can.

Just make sure that you have zero chance that the phases touch or make contact with each other.

just a question, must the internal (wiring from meter to DB and DB box re-wiring) work has to be started right after TNB done the external work(3 phase wiring pulled, change meter panel and meter) ?

Can it like once TNB done, then TNB connect back existing 1 phase internal wire, electricity resume as normal, until schedule another time with contractor to do internal work.
*
Errr.
The wiring from internal db to meter is not the responsibility of tnb.
They can come and do the external part without any problem.
If the contractor is licensed and accredited by tnb they might be able to open the wire clamps of the tnb meter to install two more wire from internal to meter to finish the 3 phase, then install new clamps with and report the number on the clamps to tnb. This you will have to make sure and ask tnb and the contractor properly or you might face problems in future....like tempering with meter.

I got this
the wires from meter (1 live 1 neutral) to internal DB is concealed -->  require own assign electrician contractor to lay new wire from meter to internal DB and do the balancing.

I have a house at hometown where I'm not always back. I am wondering, can I first apply arrange with TNB to do the external wiring first, including changing the panel n meter.
TNB pull 3 wires (red, blue, yellow and 1 black neutral) to the meter, but only use one phase first with existing internal wire. the other 2 remain hanging uninstall.

So I can arrange with own contractor to do the rest internal work (hack and lay new cable from meter to internal DB, on another schedule.
*
What I am saying is this:
The bottom part where the meter is attached to the electric cable has cover with anti temper wire clamps that has numbers attached to the wire clamps.

That’s the part you need to clarify with your contractor and tnb. As any difference or evidence of tempering can and will be used against you.

My parents want to start a small home baking business and are planning on getting a commercial oven. Would you guys recommend that we change to three phase?

We have a lot of aircons in the house but pretty much never on them all at the same time. At most 2 on at the same time.

i think should be ok.

if it trips the breaker then you know then there is an issue
