An update .......I finally got planning permission after 12 months of planning delays followed by 3 days of frantic activity. Last week (!) saw the concrete base poured and the DNO came to upgrade the line as described in my post of the 5th August 2011. The DNO would not accept responsibility...

Thanks Andy, that's reassuring, although it isn't obvious from the specs ! I did consider a REC4 but I was under the impression that isolation has to be downstream of the meter(s) hence 2 x REC2. I am still concerned about the possibility and consequences of 460V between phases - that would...

My DNO is about to upgrade my overhead supply from the existing transformer from 230V Single Phase (2 wire) TC-N-S (PME) to 230V / 460V split phase to accomodate a 20kW wind turbine. This means a 3 wire incomer. I have some issues over the positioning of the additional meter required but that's...

We will have to see how long it all lasts, the wind FIT is guaranteed for 20 years.......but then so was Solar PV (but the small producer is still OK). You are dead right about ground source.....too many Grand Designs ! I suppose I had better put any more turbine chat in the appropriate Forum...

Thank you to everyone for the welcome. As far as the turbine is concerned, I am in the last phase of obtaining planning consent - installation is planned for October/November. I still have the SSE LV line upgrade to complete which is why I joined the Forum - the implications of a split phase...
