There are a few components that work together to make the 'mains power supply' of your Melbourne home.
The consumer mains cable is a cable that runs from the point of attachment to the electricity meter to your switchboard. All the power in your house runs through this cable before being distributed across your power and lighting circuits. Your ‘supply’ (or the amount of power your house has access to to run appliances) is limited to the capacity of this cable. If you need more capacity to run new circuits or higher-powered appliances, your local electricians at Kenner Electrics can assist with a supply upgrade.
The point of attachment is where the electricity cables from the street connect to your home. If you have overhead cables, the POA is usually on the front face of your house, at the edge of your roof line.
Anything street-side of this point is owned and maintained by the Electricity Distributor (ie. United Energy), while anything from the POA inwards (aside from the electricity meter) is the homeowner’s responsibility. All the electricity in your house runs through this single point, so any failure at the POA could lead to lengthy periods without power.
A meter box is where your electricity meter is housed. It is usually either a timber or metal box and may also have your switchboard in it as well. Faulty electrical wiring in the meter box can sometimes lead to electrical fires, requiring emergency electrical services. A qualified emergency electrician Melbourne homeowners trust should handle such issues promptly.
A meter panel is a small timber/metal panel located on some older houses which have the electricity meter exposed near the front door. Emergency electricians are essential for addressing urgent problems related to the meter box or switchboard. The meter box/panel and switchboard is the responsibility of the homeowner/body corporate, but the electricity meter is owned by the Electricity Distributor.
