is 3 phase power available in my street

Ah, the elusive three-phase power—every electrician's dream and your average homeowner’s mystery. Availability depends on your local electricity distributor and the infrastructure in your suburb. Usually, three-phase power is common in commercial or industrial areas, while residential streets often have single-phase supply. If you’re itching to find out, your best bet is to ring up your local distributor or check your latest electricity bill for clues. Alternatively, a quick call to ServiceCentral might save you the legwork.
