[QUOTE="Empin, post: 477855, member: 31178"] The barn ran big 3ph motors without problems and always read at 230/40 on all legs. It also ran a couple of 3ph scroll compressors that were wired with low voltage protection and phase protection (by myself) and never gave a flicker. One motor of 8kw we never got around to fitting soft start to and never flickered when started DOL so I think that the supply is fine and well within spec. You are welcome to come and test it if you dont believe me😁. As for pricing then it was in the days of 2.5T/E for twenty quid or so just before the rise we did all the work ourselves and even at todays prices the cable would only be£10- £12000 so I cant see your £40,000 figure stands up. The cable to the house was two core SWA and 75mm. I dont know if you have ever dealt with remote supplies as they are boosted regularly and we have a better voltage than a lot of town houses that i know although a bit variable we have even seen close to 250 at times when demand is low locally. House reads 230 and steady as a rock so no problems there. So back to the question. [/QUOTE]
