    Switching to Three-Phase Electricity: A Step-by-Step Guide

    Switching from single-phase to three-phase electricity can significantly enhance your electrical capacity and efficiency, especially if you have specific needs like charging an electric vehicle (EV) or integrating solar power.

    Why Upgrade from Single-Phase to Three-Phase Electricity?

    • Electric Vehicle Charging:
      • Single-phase connections usually provide around 11 kWh. Charging your EV with this limited capacity can trip your power supply, especially when other appliances are in use.
      • Three-phase connections allow for faster charging. Typically, you can choose between 25 kWh and 40 kWh, with 25 kWh being a sufficient and cost-effective option.
    • Integration with Solar Power:
      • Combining a three-phase connection with solar panels can optimize your energy usage and reduce costs. It ensures efficient charging of your EV while utilizing solar energy.
    • You use heavy appliances consuming more than 11 kWh at once.
    • Your meter box does not meet the Netherlands' new standards. Check more details here.
