Sub mains in Midland
Midland has a mix of townhouses, units and separate houses. For homes and workshops, sub mains in Midland are sized so voltage drop stays within the Australian Standards, and the total load stays within your connection: 63 A single-phase or 32 A per phase three-phase on a standard connection. If new equipment raises the maximum demand, we notify the network operator as required.

Your questions answered
Do I need a licensed electrician for a sub main to my shed?
Yes. All electrical work in WA must be done by a licensed electrical worker, and adding or upgrading a sub main is notifiable work. OTOLEC holds WA Electrical Contractor Licence EC16326.
Can my neighbour and I share a bore pump?
WA rules allow a shared pump to be supplied from either property, but only one supply may serve it at a time, a changeover-switch arrangement isn't acceptable, and a lockable isolating switch must sit next to the pump. A sub mains electrician can set this up correctly.

Yes. We take enquiries from across City of Swan, and Midland is around 35 km from our Chidlow base. Share the property location and access details by phone or email so attendance can be discussed.
