Sorry but I'm yet another noobie who needs help.
I’ve just qualified and I'm in the process of setting up on my own.
I’m quite happy with your normal domestic electrics but the in-laws have just asked me if I can sort their new 3-phase supply for them.
They’re having a 11kva 230/400 3-phase supply fitted by YEDL. I presume YEDL will fit the meter and an isolation switch and ill have the job of fitting the tails from the isolator, the consumer unit and connecting up the new machine.
I’ve had a look on 1 of the threads and think I've found the correct max phase current formula
11000/(230*3)=16A per phase
Firstly can anyone confirm this to be correct?
Secondly with the max current only been 16A do I still have to fit 25mmsq tails to the consumer unit.
Thirdly can anyone recommend a suitable consumer unit or should I just buy a 4way with 4 pole rccb mains switch and use a suitably rated 3-pole mcb for the machine
Hope you can help
