[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 477324, member: 1607"] As ProDave says for practical functionality it would be better to combine onto a single supply. But from a technical perspective there is nothing preventing multiple supplies into one building, There should be suitable labels signs and documentation stating that the site has dual supplies so anyone working there will be aware. But any person working on any part of an installation should be 100% certain of the supply characteristics and the appropriate places for safe isolation to allow works to proceed. If they are not certain of these things then in my opinion they are not competent to be working unsupervised on an electrical installation. Unless there is need for significant circuit alterations and providing that the total load is not too great for a single supply, it is possibly easiest to just amend the one consumer unit to become a sub-main of the other supply.
