[QUOTE="amateursparky, post: 489064, member: 19593"] For 2391 I will be testing a three phase distribution board with a motor and single phase sub main. I am finding it hard to memorize the test procedures. So for me it's about repetition but naturally I don't have a three phase supply at home. I want to buy a clarke pc60 three phase converter. Now AFAIK for the the single phase sub main to work I would require a neutral because single phase loads aren't balanced or something like that. It's been a while since I studied three phase theory. The converter only has a 4 pin TP and earth plug so no neutral. I just wanted to check with people more knowledgeable, can I just run a neutral separately from the wall socket feeding the converter? I don't see why not because it's the same bloody supply I might even be able to do it internally for a cleaner install but I have to return the sucker afterwards so I can't be taking it apart.
