Need installation or maintenance of a electricity branch? The electrical branch is the connection between the public power distribution network and the property, and is responsible for ensuring an adequate supply of electricity. Proper installation avoids problems such as power outages, overloads and electrical hazards.
If you are building a house or need to increase the available electrical load, a professional service guarantees a safe, efficient installation that complies with technical standards.
What is a power line?
O electrical branch is the infrastructure that connects the distribution network to the property's metering panel. It can be classified as:
- Overhead branch: Made with cables suspended from poles, connecting the property to the electricity grid.
- Underground branch: Safer and more aesthetic installation, with buried cables to avoid exposure to the elements.
- New connection branch: Used for new properties that do not yet have an electricity supply.
- Load increase branch: Necessary when there is greater electrical demand in the property.
The choice of branch depends on the characteristics of the site and the requirements of the energy concessionaire.
When do you need to install or maintain an electrical branch?
The installation or replacement of electricity branch may be necessary in various situations, such as
- Construction of new buildings: To connect to the utility grid.
- Frequent power outages: This may indicate undersized or faulty wiring.
- Expansion of the property: When new equipment increases the demand for energy.
- Old electrical branch: Damaged wiring can lead to short-circuit risks.
- Change in tension: Change from single-phase to two-phase or three-phase.
- Standardization of the installation: Compliance with the standards required by the concessionaire.
If you notice any of these signs, a electrical diagnostics professional can indicate whether the branch needs to be serviced or replaced.
How does the installation of an electrical branch work?
The installation of electricity branch follows a technical process that must be carried out by qualified electricians. The service includes:
- Applying for a connection with the energy concessionaire.
- Definition of the type of branch (overhead or underground).
- Choosing the right cabling to withstand the electrical load.
- Installation of poles, conduits or junction boxes (if necessary).
- Connection to the metering panel and to the building's internal system.
- Functional tests and verification of compliance with standards.
With a professional service, you avoid wasting material, electrical risks and future problems with the energy supply.
What are the benefits of a well-installed electrical branch?
One installation of an electricity line Well-done offers several advantages, such as
- Electrical safety: Reduces the risk of short circuits and fires.
- Stable energy supply: Prevents voltage drops and oscillations.
- Compliance with technical standards: Ensures that the installation meets the required standards.
- Greater durability: Quality cables and connections reduce the need for maintenance.
- Capacity for future expansion: Installation prepared for load increase if necessary.
How much does it cost to install a power line?
The cost of the service can vary depending on a number of factors, including:
- Type of branch (overhead or underground).
- Distance between the utility network and the property.
- Installation capacity (single-phase, two-phase or three-phase).
- Materials used (cables, poles, meter boxes, etc.).
- Local utility requirements.
To guarantee a fair quote and a quality service, we recommend a professional assessment.
How long does it take to install an electrical branch?
Installation time can vary according to the complexity of the service and the approval of the energy concessionaire. Simple installations can be completed in a few hours, while more complex projects can take several days.
