additional db or not

[maffa ent]

evening!

i need to install a new 3phase circuit for a ramp in a garage........

there are no spare ways at all in the existing 3phase db, and apparently they have no plans for any other equipment, at the moment.

i was thinking of installing an enclosure, containing a 4 pole main switch, then a 3phase mcb, for the new machine?

as i'm typing i'm wondering whether or not i should just price for a 4way tp db and have done with it.

also, where to supply the additional db from? would blocks on the existing tails be preferable, or more expense of a main switch for everything, and then tails to existing and new db's........?

thanks in advance

What make is the existing board? A switch Fuse could be an option.

from memory, i think it's a hager.

switch fuse would be ok, but the issue of where to supply from?

could you install a top tap off kit to the existing board?

No put a bigger board in with some extra ways for further expansion[
