Single-phase systems use two wires: one phase (live) wire and one neutral wire. They’re commonly used in residential homes and small businesses where electricity demand is relatively low. Single-phase systems are characterized by peaks and dips in voltage, which means they don’t deliver power as consistently as three-phase systems.
Three-phase systems use three-phase wires and often a neutral wire. These systems are used primarily in commercial and industrial settings like factories, data centers, and large office buildings where higher power loads are needed. They provide a steady, continuous power flow, reducing the risk of power interruptions.
We recommend conducting minor inspections annually. During these inspections, we can help identify early signs of wear or potential issues. A more comprehensive inspection should be conducted at least every five years for most commercial properties.
We take care of our customers and get the job done right the first time.
