Looking for a 3 phase board for a customer, older house...ideally something "aesthetically inoffensive"....i.e. something that doesn't look straight off the factory floor...
Thoughts? suggestions?

House is currently using 2 phases of a 3 phase supply into 2 separate meters, phoned the DNO to check there wasn't any reason for this...they were more surprised it hadn't been converted to a single 3 phase meter when the meters were swapped in 2009...Told to then phone supplier, whose technical team confirmed that a 3 phase meter can be fitted (with integral isolator and for free...shock of shocks..)

The DNO connections team reckon PME might be available despite it being an overhead supply, their computer system reckons yes...but requires a site visit to confirm if its possible or not....so they are coming out to do that
 
Was considering the following option : split the house between phases: kitchen on 1 (possibly with a local single phase CU to save someone traipsing down the corridor and up the stairs if an appliance trips in the kitchen),

Don't go installing local separate CU's, keep to a single location, unless the place is a bloody mansion that is!! lol!!

Max demand likely isn't going to top 60 amps (only 2 people living there mainly and client is currently talking about oil fired heating, and an oil fired rayburn for cooking) but has at least one electric shower on site at the moment, though the shower might get replaced by a mixer in the future...possibly..he hasn't made that decision yet.

Just two people, you'll not be seeing anywhere near 60A, you'll be lucky seeing 40A for more than a couple of minutes
