Types of Basic Connections
Basic Connections
A new residential or small business connection will be usually offered as a basic connection service under our model standing offers. A basic connection:
- Has a maximum capacity of less than 76Amps per phase
- Is a connection either via an overhead single span cable less than 45 meters (and less than 20 meters over your property), or an existing* underground pit at the border of your property
- Is for a permanent connection (or temporary as long as it is for less than 12 months)
- Doesn’t require any updating or extension of our network.
- Has no metering or technical issues
Temporary Connections
A Temporary Connection is a connection required by builders when they require electricity to complete construction at a property.

CT Connections
If your property requires a higher level of electricity, typically more than 76 amps per phase, a Current Transformer (CT) connection is needed.
