After a thread regarding running single phase equipment off one phase of a 3-phase supply, I was thinking to myself. "How do they meter 3-phase electricity in small workshop premises?". Do the meters have a 3-phase to single phase transformer? Or do they just meter phase A and assume that B and C are under the same load?
Oh, and can anyone foresee the introduction of 3-phase supplies into new UK homes? With Part P looming it is going to become more prudent to hire in qualified sparks to do your home electrics so what difference is it to get them to attend to 3-phase installations over single phase? And with the advantages it can bring for high-powered appliances (namely ovens and electric showers) then I reckon this COULD become not too unusual in large luxury homes in 10 years.
