Number of Phases

Low Voltage Connections (up to 1000V)

The number of phases provided at low voltage connections will vary depending on the capacity of connection and the nature of our electricity network. The following arrangements are typical: 

• Single phase
• Two phase (also known as two phase – four wire)
• Split phase (also known as two phase – three wire)
• Three phase

Where more than one phase is provided load must be balanced, as far as possible, between each of the phases.

High Voltage Connections (above 1000V)

Three phases are provided at high voltage connections.
