Three-Phase Power in Spring Hill, FL
Three-Phase Supply for Stores, Offices, and New Pads|Licensed & Insured, EC13011268
On a Spring Hill commercial property, the nearest point where all three phases are available might sit a few feet from the equipment, or nowhere on the site yet. Finding that point comes before anything is wired. From wherever it turns out to be, we run the circuit to the equipment and add whichever disconnect or three-phase panel the job calls for.
If you know the building has three-phase, mention it.
Call (352) 251-2795, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., or send a request online. Calls after hours are returned the next business day.

Hernando County Checkpoints for Commercial Service in Spring Hill
Hernando County requires a pre-construction meeting before construction starts on commercial development, and it won't let a commercial parcel be cleared without an approved Vertical Construction Permit for the development planned there. On a new Spring Hill pad, that puts the building's plans, electrical service included, ahead of the first bulldozer.
Hernando County also treats a service change and a new service installation as two separate types of electrical permit. A building that already has power and needs a third phase would generally fall under the first, and a pad that has never had power under the second. Saying which of the two describes the property when you call lets the permit match the job from the outset.
How it runs
Spring Hill Three-Phase Hookups, From the Meters Up
-
1
Following the suite's feed back to three phases
Where the suite's panel shows fewer than three phase conductors, its supply is followed back toward the meters until the nearest three-phase source turns up.
-
2
Inspections before the conduit is covered
In Hernando County, a new three-phase circuit needs an electrical permit. Conduit and cable bound for a wall or a ceiling are inspected before they're covered, along with any other inspection the permit calls for.

Connecting the circuit at the unit's disconnect
On a rooftop unit, the mechanical contractor typically sets the equipment, and the electrician brings the circuit to its disconnect and makes the connection there. The breaker in the panel and the disconnect on the roof are labeled to match, so whoever services the unit later can find its supply.
What we cover
Where the Third Phase Comes From in a Spring Hill Building
How much wiring a three-phase hookup takes follows from how far the supply has to travel to reach the equipment.
Three phases already on the suite's panel
A suite fed from a three-phase panel has the supply within reach, and the new equipment needs a dedicated circuit run from that panel, sized from the nameplate, with a disconnect where the code calls for one. Three phases at the panel don't settle the capacity question, though. The suite's feeder and its main breaker set how much the panel can carry, so a load calculation shows whether the added unit fits beside everything the suite already runs.
Three-phase at the building, but not in the suite
A plaza or office building can take a three-phase service at its meters and still feed some suites with only two of the three phase conductors and a neutral, which makes those suites single-phase. Bringing the third phase in calls for a new feeder from the building's distribution equipment and, in most cases, a three-phase panel in place of the suite's existing one. The feeder is sized from the load calculation, and its route from the meter wall to the suite, across a ceiling or along the back of the building, accounts for much of the work. Because the meter wall serves every tenant, the connection to it usually waits on the property owner's approval.
A building with no three-phase service
When the service itself is single-phase, no third phase exists anywhere on the property to tap. Getting one means a service change, in which the power company brings three-phase to the site. The power company decides whether and when that happens, and we coordinate our side of the job with its crew. Inside, the existing circuits are moved onto the new three-phase panel. The lights and receptacles on them carry on as before, and each piece of single-phase equipment keeps working as long as its nameplate voltage matches what the new service delivers.
An empty pad that has no service yet
On a Spring Hill pad with no building, the service is designed from scratch instead of changed. The building's plans set its size and its phase, so a three-phase rooftop unit or other equipment named on those plans can be supplied from the start. When a shell goes up before its tenants are known, the owner decides whether three-phase comes in with the first service, which leaves a future tenant's equipment with a supply already on site.
