Sub Mains Installation and Repairs Sydney

Sub mains are a critical component of your property’s electrical system, distributing power from the main switchboard to various parts of your home or business. At Innogy Electrical, we specialise in the installation and repair of sub mains, ensuring that your electrical system operates efficiently and safely. Our licensed electricians in Sydney are experts in handling all aspects of sub mains work, from initial installation to ongoing maintenance and urgent repairs.

What are sub mains and why are they important?

Sub mains are the secondary electrical cables that connect your main switchboard to sub-distribution boards located in different areas of your property. These cables are essential for ensuring that power is evenly distributed throughout your building, whether it’s a large commercial space or a multi-level residential home. Properly installed sub mains ensure that your electrical devices receive the power they need without overloading the system, reducing the risk of electrical faults and ensuring consistent power supply across all areas of your property.

Common Issues with Sub Mains Systems

Over time, sub mains systems can develop issues that compromise their efficiency and safety. Here are some of the most common problems we encounter:

Overloaded Circuits: Sub mains that are not correctly sized for the electrical load can lead to overloaded circuits, increasing the risk of power outages and electrical fires.
Aging or Damaged Cables: Sub mains cables that have deteriorated due to age or physical damage can cause power disruptions or even hazardous electrical faults.
Poor Installation Practices: Sub mains that were not installed by a licensed electrician may have faults such as improper connections or insufficient insulation, leading to frequent electrical issues and safety concerns.
Insufficient Capacity: As properties expand or upgrade their electrical appliances, existing sub mains may no longer have the capacity to handle the increased load, necessitating an upgrade.
Faulty Connections: Loose or corroded connections at the sub-distribution boards can lead to inconsistent power supply and pose significant safety risks.
