Need an installation or replacement electricity amount column? This is one of the most important components in the electrical installation of buildings, guaranteeing the proper distribution of energy to each unit. If the upstream column is faulty, overheating or out of date, it is essential to carry out maintenance or replacement to avoid risks and ensure the proper functioning of the electrical network.
With a professional service, we ensure a safe, efficient installation that complies with technical standards.
What is an upstream electricity column?
A electric upright column is the structure responsible for taking electricity from the building's entry point (general switchboard) to the individual switchboards of each apartment or commercial unit. It consists of power cables, electrical protections and strategic connections to ensure efficient power distribution.
A poorly dimensioned or deteriorated upstream column can cause overloads, voltage drops and even short circuits, affecting the power supply for all residents or businesses in the building.
When does the upstream column need to be replaced?
Replacing or maintaining electricity amount column should be made when problems occur in the building's power distribution. Some signs that replacement may be necessary include:
- Frequent power outages: They indicate that the upstream column is not supporting the building's electrical demand.
- Excessive heating of the cables: May indicate overload and risk of fire.
- Old electrical installation: Columns that are more than 20 years old may be out of date for current consumption.
- Damaged wiring or insulation: Risk of short circuits and electrical faults.
- Expansion of electric charge: If new units or high-consumption equipment have been added, the column may need reinforcement.
- Outdated technical standards: If the installation is not up to current standards, it may be necessary to redo the column.
If the building has one or more of these problems, a professional diagnosis can indicate whether maintenance or replacement of the upstream column is required.
How does the installation of an upright column work?
The installation or replacement of a electricity amount column is a technical process that must be carried out by qualified electricians. The service includes:
- Study of the electrical network and calculation of the building's total load.
- Choosing suitable materials, such as copper or aluminum cables, depending on demand.
- Installation of cable trays or conduits to safely accommodate the cables.
- Connection to the general switchboard and to the individual switchboards of each unit.
- Installation of protection devices, such as circuit breakers and SPDs (Surge Protection Devices).
- Operational tests and inspections to guarantee the safety and efficiency of the system.
After installation, the new electrical system must be tested to ensure that there are no voltage drops or risks of overload.
What are the benefits of replacing an old upright column?
One electricity amount column new and well-installed offers several advantages:
- More security: Reduces the risk of short circuits and electrical fires.
- Efficient electricity distribution: Prevents voltage drops and improves energy supply.
- Compliance with electrical standards: It ensures that the building meets the required technical standards.
- Cost reduction: Fewer electrical faults mean less maintenance costs.
- Greater capacity: Supports the increased electricity consumption of residents or businesses.
How much does it cost to install or replace an upright column?
The cost of the service can vary depending on a number of factors, including:
- Number of units served by the amount column.
- Type of material used (copper or aluminum).
- Distance between the overall picture and the individual pictures.
- The condition of the existing infrastructure and the need for adaptations.
- Regulatory requirements and project certifications.
To guarantee a fair quote and a safe service, we recommend a detailed technical assessment.
How long does it take to install or replace an upright column?
Installation time can vary depending on the size of the building and the complexity of the project. In general, a complete replacement can take between 1 and 3 days, depending on the need for adjustments to the electrical structure.
