OVER HEAD POWER
OVERHEAD POWERLINES
The maintenance and safety of overhead power lines beyond the point of supply are the sole responsibility of the owner. Newcastle Powerlines are certified (ASP3) to replace overhead powerlines & upgrade from single phase to 3 phase. Whether your property is domestic, commercial or rural, we have the experience to get your power working again.
WHAT IS OVERHEAD POWER?
Power from the electricity network may enter your property via a few different methods, one of which is via overhead wiring. The majority of suburbs have an overhead electricity network where the power available from the electricity grid is located up on the telegraph poles on the street. This is the most common method of supplying power to a property. This involves a direct overhead connection from your property (point of attachment) to the electricity distributor’s network.
Ausgrid Defects & Essential Energy Defects
As the property owner, you are responsible for booking inspections and maintenance of all privately-owned power poles and powerlines – those between the first point of connection on your property to the switchboard or meter and those that extend into your property.
If you have received a defect notice on your private power pole from Ausgrid or Essential Energy call Newcastle Powerlines to get the issue fixed.
