Planning power for a borehole? Decide these first
A short list to settle with your electrician before work starts. Where this job shows how it was handled, it is noted.
| Decide this | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| How far is the borehole from the nearest supply? | Distance drives the cable size, the trenching and the cost. On this job the supply needed over 500m of armoured cable. |
| Who is digging the trench, and when? | The trench has to suit the cable and the drilling schedule. Here, Jack arranged the trenching alongside the borehole contractor. |
| What will the borehole pump and any booster pumps need? | Pump sizes decide the supply, the protection and the controls. This job had controls for the borehole pump and for booster pumps. |
| How should the pumps start and stop? | A pressure switch starts a pump when pressure in the pipework drops. A float switch responds to the water level in a tank. Both were installed here. |
| Where will the controls live, and how are they protected from weather? | Controls outdoors need a weatherproof enclosure. The photos show a control enclosure on timber posts beside a polytunnel, with a weatherproof socket on its side. |
| What paperwork do you need at the end? | Ask for the electrical installation certificate for the new supply. |
