1) What prep work is needed before distribution abroad upgrade?

It is recommended to have an EICR or Electrical Installation Condition Report to assess the state of existing wiring and to check electrical systems are appropriate for distribution board upgrade. Calculating current and projected electrical load at the business with enough spare capacity will prevent costly follow up work in the future. A commercial electrician will help confirm whether your business requires single or three phase power, a three phase power supply is essential for high power premises. We worked at Sinfin Business Park in Derby recently on a unit which was going through major electrical upgrades. The unit was empty but the owners were preparing the space to let in new tenants after refurbishments. We had a small window to conduct the distribution upgrade but with an experienced team, the upgrade was seamless and manageable.

Prices usually start at around £1,250, which is typical of warehouses, factories and large industrial premises where three phase power is required. The cost includes removing the old unit, installing a new board which includes RCBO protection against electrocution and fires. Another essential component to the new distribution board we recently installed at Sinfin business park was SPDs or Surge Protection Devices. The property owners wanted enhanced protection for sensitive electronic equipment which is easily damaged during voltage spikes.
