Two Phase CU

Good morning,


Came across a strange one doing an EICR yesterday.

The fuse board is fed with two phases and one neutral...phases L2 and L3 are linked.

I'm looking for a coding or deviation.

As I see it, best way is it's unbalanced loadings with pressure on the neutral.

Worst way is two supply circuits with a shared neutral.

The spare phase is being used to supply a flat in the building.

Loading wise, it would be possible to link out all phases in the main CU, making it a single phase board...but that would only push the problem back to the intake.

Any suggestions please.

  • Hi Chris.

    The intake has...amongst other things...6 single phase meters.

    3 are inked to the Lower ground 3 phase board...no problem there (apart from no RCDs in sight).

    One of the other three feeds a flat.

    The other two feed the Ground. floor board.

    The current loading shouldn't be an issue.

    It was returning a substantially unbalanced load back via the neutral that concerned me.
