BUILDING
 What to know about
Residential Electrical Codes
to safely power your home.
 To power a commercial building, an organized electrical
system is required. This establishes that the electricity is running
smoothly through the entire complex.
 A commercial electrical system uses a different electrical
procedure to operate compared to residential and industrial
systems. Commercial properties tend to utilise more complex
wiring systems, phases of power, and different conduits.
 The installation of a commercial electrical system requires
careful planning and surveying of the building before any initial
action is taken. A professional electrical installation service will
understand this and carefully review the layout of the building.

Here are some key points that a commercial electrician

considers:
1. Type of wiring to use
2. Use of a conduit
3. Phases of power
 A system failure can lead to numerous workspace issues. These issues
can compromise the success and productivity of a business.
 Investing your commercial property’s
scheduled electrical maintenance plan
can lead to many benefits that maximise
the productivity of a business.

One of the four main types of

commercial properties used for business
purposes. Simply put, industrial buildings
are factories or other large premises
primarily used for manufacturing or
storing raw materials, goods, or services
for economic purposes.
 Types of Industrial Building

• Bulk distribution warehouses

• Manufacturing buildings
• Cold storage buildings
• Data centers
• Flex buildings
The electrical power requirements are
generally large in a manufacturing facility
would typically see high-voltage power
distribution (4,160 volts or 12 kilovolts)
as opposed to 120/208- and 277/480-
volt systems.
Industrial Wiring Three Phase Wiring
Industrial wiring uses a three-phase design
to create higher output to power high
voltage equipment and multiple systems.
The three phase supply from the
distribution line transformer is given to the
home or building’s point of service. Most
industrial and commercial services consists
of three phase systems that are operated
typically at 415V phase to phase and 230V
phase to neutral.
Industrial electrical wiring can be
a lot different to standard
residential wiring. And this means
that additional safety measures
may need to be followed to
ensure that your property is
secure, and to prevent electrical
risks.
