Temporary Power, Scarborough

One of the biggest problems construction workers face when completing a project is inadequate access to electrical supply. Workers may be completing a renovation in a residential setting, or working on a commercial project within an industrial setting – in both cases, the electric supply may be very limited, and can impact whether or not the project gets completed on time. For this reason, a temporary power supply is usually installed within construction sites.

Electric power supplies require two main components – the power pole and panel. The power pole must be installed within 70 feet of the job site, and is typically installed underground. Temporary power poles need to be installed correctly to ensure safe and reliable power supply to the job site, and thus requires a permit. On the other hand, there are two main types of power panels – metered and unmetered. The distinction between the two is simple: an unmetered panel does not have a limit on bandwidth, whereas a metered panel has a bandwidth limit.

Temporary power supplies can be uniquely configured based on various factors, such as the size and layout of the job site, the type of power poles, and the type of power panels. It is possible to install a power supply that is either connected to a generator, or connected to a wired utility source if there is one which is near enough. It is recommended to hire a licensed electrical contractor to help you determine which setup best suits your needs. Here at Made Electric, we can guide you through the entire installation process and answer any questions you may have.
