3 phase temp supply ?

goldenboy1818

Hi guys, iv been doing loads of basic new build single phase.

The next one is going to be 3 phase and a bigger house. I will treat as normal apart from adding a 3 phase board and balancing on the phases.

The owner has asked me to set up a temp supply. Can I do this but setting up say a garage board and couple of sockets, but using just one phase and not connecting the other two in, obviously neutral and earth will be connected. Thank you for any help

    No problem just utilizing one of the three phases for the temp supply (provided of course the builders don't have any equipment that needs 3-phase).

    For a builder's supply, you might want to consider not using the supplier's earth but going TT instead - just because you'll almost certainly not be able to bond things properly on a building site which can increase some of the dangers with PME.
