[QUOTE="jamal6008, post: 388113, member: 25931"] Thanks for all your concerns everyone. I am going to keep researching this. I understand the hazards and risks. Instead of saying no you can't do it I would much rather prefer guidance that will help me do it safely and meet all the regs. I am not an electrician by any means but I am an electrical engineer and I work live on much higher voltages and currents that are normally found in a house. I believe the things listed below is what I need to research either myself or by speaking to a qualified electrician. 1.) Isolate the incoming supply to the house via meter or via the cut-out fuse. 2.) Install a new isolator that provides two outgoing cables (one cable will be existing cable to the house and second cable will be a brand new connection). 3.) Find rated cables that can handle 40A continous current. 4.) Find 40A rate circuit breaker to isolate the circuit in an event of a fault. 5.) Find appropiate 63A socket. 6.) Follow the safe practices of connecting neutral and earth appropiately. Let me know if I missed anything. Thanks [/QUOTE]
