Can anyone tell me how much their 3 phase power cost?
I was quoted $660, now they are saying it is actually $1500,
because the standard specifications are 8 meters and I needed 19 meters.
A rough quote from a sparkie would be awesome!!!!!

Lights should be wired across a number of phases, and not loaded onto just one phase... + $20 per breaker Same with Power Outlets... So add additional circuit breakers... + $20 per breaker Add additional cabling due to load sharing requirements... 50 metres... $50... Figure in additional manhours for design and documentation of system calculations as required by Australian Standards, and installation time... $200 for 2 hours total... 2 Safety switches are standard on all homes... It's required by law... So for a 3rd safety switch... + $100 for the 3rd switch... Cabling into the house... 16mm Single Phase - $7 per metre, or 16mm 3 Phase $18 per metre... Conduit Size may have to be bigger also to accomdate the 3 phase cabling... The may have also gone to a larger switchboard to accomadate the increased capacity... Probably something like a 36 pole board instead of a standard 11 or 14 pole... + $100 Given the above numbers, I'd allow for a typical house $640... That's before any additional work, such as air conditioners, pool pumps etc are done! Electrical Engineer... Don't hold that against me... And keen owner builder... Mainly the building part!!
