Re: New Power Rates
Hi T1. I am all single phase. Tried to get 3 phase but they wanted $14,000 to run it under the road to the house. Put on solar instead with the idea of adding a battery later.
Cheers

Re: New Power Rates
John,
I have 3-phase in my Playpen. Installed by previous owner.
I have no 3-phase equipment, so it sits idle. Just a wall decoration.
If you like, I could unscrew the plugs and post them to you.
Cost a lot less than $14,000!

Regards & God bless,

Re: New Power Rates

I believe you can buy a device to split single phase so you can use "light" 3 ph equip on it?

Re: New Power Rates
If you still wanted 3 phase it can be done using three inverters and would cost less than $14,000 Do you know how many separate single phase circuits you have in the switch board? Each one will have its own circuit breaker ...... Can you tell me the amp rating on the ducted air conditioner circuit breaker?Riverlander wrote: ↑Sun Jun 20, 2021 7:04 pm Hi T1.

Re: New Power Rates
Hi. The house air-con has a 30 amp breaker. There are 7 power breakers ( 1 oven, 1 hot water, 4 power and one 15 amp outside power ) and 2 light. Also there is power up to the big shed and flat with another split air-con and electric stove, plus power to the camp kitchen with a 15 amp outlet and over to the upholstery shed that has the solar on the roof. Not sure how much power I have being delivered but I know I have to be a bit careful on what is being used at any one time.
Cheers John

Re: New Power Rates
We have just received notification that the feed-in tariff will be dropping from 9.5c to 7.6c as of 01/10/21. Particularly annoying as approx 75% of the solar produced is fed into the grid.

The WA buy back rate is going to 3 cents per kw/hr from 7 cents with controlled amount of feed-in depending on the time of day.

Re: New Power Rates
Maybe it's time for everyone with feedin solar to turn it off for a week on a cold or hot period?
Maybe a 'contact me' if you feel like paying 25c?
