What is temporary building electricity supply?

When new construction takes place, arrangements should be made to allow the electricity connection and supply for the development period of a building site.

Temporary builder’s supply is not an approved permanent electricity supply. It is usually installed to allow the development of a site or other short term uses.

This can be achieved by Sydney Emergency level 2 electrician, known as (ASP) Authorised level 2 service provider.

There are procedures to be followed to obtain consent to connect from the grid to the private pole to be used as a temporary building supply.

How to Apply for Temporary Building Supply

Part of the procedures include: 

• A customer has to open an electricity account and ask for an NMI number
• An Authorised level 2 service provider should submit an application, obtain a job number and a letter confirming consent to connect
• After getting approval to connect, a level 2 electrician should provide electricity supply from the grid to the private pole
• Erecting a pole, installing the meter box with all the protection equipment and either arrange or install an electricity meter
• Submit documents required by the supply authority and hand over the job to the client after confirming all safety tests are adhered to and implemented.

Types of Temporary Building Supply

Overhead temporary power supply is a direct electrical connection between the supply authority pole to the private pole. It can be either a single-phase or a 3-phase connection. 

Underground temporary building supply is an electricity connection that originates from the underground pillar and ends in a meter box raised above the ground by a minimum of 13oomm above ground level. 

Overhead, underground temporary building supply is partially overhead and then becomes underground direct to the meter box. This is an ideal connection if you are concerned about the appearance of the power cables. It also minimises accidental traffic damage or falling trees above power lines. It is ideal for converting to a permanent electricity supply after a building project is completed.
