Several connection problems may arise when hazardous electrical installations or changes of property take place. And as a result, various line disconnections and reconnections occur. Bay Coast Electrical and Control Solutions provides a professional and quality service and can help you with point of attachment electrical services.
What is a Point of Attachment?
The Point of Attachment is the first point of electricity supply, where an overhead service cable coming from a street’s network connects to the property.
This connection is the midpoint that runs from the street’s network to a roof apex, private power pole, fascia board or switchboard. The point of attachment lets the power flow from the primary electricity network to the property’s power supply.
To put it in simpler terms, the point of attachment is a midpoint junction box. The cables coming from this connection point lead to the 80 amp service fuses, called consumer mains, then to the retailer electricity meters inside the meter box.
Types of Point of Attachment
Here are the following point of attachment examples:
Older types of backlit junction box located on the fascia board.
Service connectors
Point of attachment mounted on a bracket or riser
Point of attachment secured by insulator porcelain cups
DEFECTS OF POINT OF ATTACHMENT
- Underground electricity supply is like an overhead supply to convey electricity from the street to the property. It can become faulty because of deterioration. Deterioration may seem like a minor problem, but it may create some significant damages or even death if left unattended.
- Possible dangers range from power outages to fires may take place. Causes may include arc and spark caused by a short circuit between cables of different potentials.
- Arc and spark can be a result of sagging cables as well, affected by strong winds. Dangling cables caused by strong winds could loosen the cable connection integrity and cause serious fatality if the neutral lines lose connection in three (3) phases of electricity.
- When these neutral connections loosen or disconnect at the point of attachment, all of their metal parts become live.
- The refrigerator, stove, swimming pool, and even the taps can be affected. Because of this, you may experience stings when you’re taking a shower. Dimming lights when power points are in use is another sign of loosening connection of point of attachment.
