Another useless answer!

No condemnation of my final solution, makes a change. And by the way I already have the cable.

I do not intend to take the supply from the CUs. I intend spurring  a 4 pole RCBO off the henley blocks giving a seperate 3 phase supply to the hob, with a 4 pole isolator located in the vicinity of said hob.

Can somebody please explain why not, using a 4 pole RCD. All anyone say is you cannot do that please explain why. The hob is just like 3 seperate appliances. The elements are grouped into 3 banks each fed by a seperate live ie phase unless bridged out for single phase use.

Is a 3 phase meter.

Why should it be a wind up is a legitimate question?  To clarify is a definite 3 phase supply each phase having its own CU , picture attached. And no there is no main switch to isolate all 3 phases at the same time, might be a good idea to install one. So what is wrong with installing a 4 pole...

3 3 seperate CU each on its own phase. When were they changed then to require local isolation?

Was originally 3 seperate cottages and assumption made each on different phases. How can it not comply as there is no requirement to have any sort of local isolation for an appliance?

Yes I do and why should I not be doing it?

Hi Not a commercial job is my kitchen at home.

Am about to install an induction hob and can either use single phase or three phase. Will use singles in conduit. Maximun load is 11Kw so either single phase in 6mm or 3phase using 2.5mm. If I use 3 phase I will get a normal cooker isolation switch to operate a 4 pole contactor, as am not too...

Only common courtesy.

Finally got around to going to my daughter to sort this problem. What had happened was that a cable was assumed neutral  wjen  in fact a live. In the picture  the center blue cable should have been in the right hand , live, connector block. I have now sleeved the errant blue in brown and the...

You would only get a yellow cable on old types ie 3c and earth or 3c armoured. Green was still the earth cover not yellow.

Now know that the cable is yellow, so very strange. I suppose will only know for certain when I physically see it.
