    Changing Towel Rail elements - is this reasonable?

    I rent out a flat some distance away from where I live, and new tenants told me that neither of the 2 bathrooms' towel rails were heating.

    higher voltage needed

    Just received a new lab oven that calls for 415V 60HZ 3 phase @ 45KW, the problem is that we only have 120/208Y available to us ( plenty of unused service). Question: Do I source a transformer or look into converting oven to run on 80A 208y?
