3 phase domestic

goldenboy1818

Hi all. I am a domestic electrician and I only work on houses. We do a lot of standard new builds.

Some of the new upcoming houses are said to have a 3 phase supply, I'm not entirely sure how this affects me, what do I need to do different, what fuseboard etc etc

Really appreciate any advice

Thank you

    Well you could have three consumer units, one for each phase which may be good as you may need to turn one off and leave the others on. Or you can install a three phase distribution board such as that shown in the link. It will be necessary to see if all of the modern gadgets that may be needed are available for your choice of board such as R.C.D.s/ A.F.D.D.s/Surge protection devices/R.C.B.Os etc.
