Hi I need some help with 3 phase wiring. I'm fairly confident I'm right but haven't done it since I was 18. Would I be right in saying that normal 3 phase power for sockets are wired in star and you should end up with 5 cables at each outlet? L1, L2, L3, N & E? With a 3 pole isolator for...

Don't do much three phase and a bit of help would be helpful.On three phase when testing for pfc am I right in saying that I connect the leads to L-N and don't need the earth lead connected. As I'm not sure of putting the meter across all phase, so double the reading that is highest of the three...
Hi Guys,

Hi
I am an end user and want a 3.68kW system installed at work.
We have three phase but don't have the money to do the full 10kw job.
My installer is proposing installing a 3.68kw system and connect to only one phase.
He is using an SMA 4000TL and 16x Upsolar 230 panels
My concern is...
Next month we are installing a small 1.2 kw system (5 panels I believe), that is all that the roof can fit, but the supply is three phase. Hardly seems worth it, but it's a local authority job and I think it's more of a show home. Any ideas how to go about this, as I presume I would only be...
