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

    Check with your scheme provider; do you require to be insured as Approved Contractor status, as opposed to a Domestic Installer for work at 415V?.

    It may be a nominal 400 V David, but around here it is always 440V(or occasionally a bit more).

    Genuine photo from where I was working today, taken whilst looking at this forum whilst eating my cheese and pickle sandwiches, as you do.

    Definitely closer to 415 than 400.
