[QUOTE="monkey5, post: 549522, member: 1819"] Where are you, there might be a member on here that might be available? Yes the 3 phase DB can have a temp link between the phases so the one phase is feeding it all. Changing it all over on the same day could be a nightmare for an electrician, I like to have It prepared so I'm literally removing the temp link and connecting up to the new incoming Supply, all the testing then needed on the new bits and power is off for the minimal amount of time. Have you had a price for a new 3 phase upgrade from the DNO. Can be a lot of money depending if there is a 3 phase supply near by, they may Need to dig roads/paths up before hand, you can always get your side ready with the ducting etc. Also bear in mind the meter cupboard you currently have will need to replaced for a larger one so you may also need a builder on the day too. Lots of things to get planned to work together and on the day will be so much easier. [/QUOTE]
