Clayton Pressure Fryer Install: Safe, Compliant 3-Phase Power for a Busy Chicken Shop

Running a commercial kitchen means uptime is everything. This week in Clayton, our team installed and commissioned a 3-phase pressure fryer for a local chicken shop—getting them cooking safely, quickly and fully compliant.

What we delivered

• New dedicated 3-phase circuit sized for the fryer’s load
• Local lockable isolator for safe servicing
• Heat-rated flexible cabling with correct gland/strain relief
• Neat cable management routed away from heat and cleaning zones
• Testing & commissioning (insulation, polarity, earth continuity, RCD)
• Test & Tag and a Certificate of Electrical Safety (CES) handed over

Why 3-phase matters in commercial kitchens

High-demand appliances (fryers, combi ovens, dishwashers, mixers) draw serious power. 3-phase spreads the load evenly, reduces voltage drop, improves efficiency and helps equipment last longer. Done right, it also minimises nuisance tripping and keeps your kitchen moving through service.

Safety & compliance (no shortcuts)

We work to AS/NZS 3000, manufacturer specs and food-premises hygiene requirements:

• Correct cable types near heat/grease
• Accessible isolators and clearances
• RCD protection where required
• Documented testing and tagging for insurance and audits
