If it was a multi phase dB it would be designed as such, not bodged with two phases at the will of someone who ought to know better.What makes you say that this board is designed for a single phase?
If you look at the specs of consumer units, you will find they do not state they are designed for a single phase?

We took the bottom screw out, the top screws are meant to be loose, you hang the board on the two top screws, then secure it with the bottom screw.
Thats an interesting method of installation. I think you'll find that all fixing screws are meant to be tightened, not just to hang loosely in?

Looking at the way this thread is going I don't think anyone will come up with any regulations that prevent you using a 'single phase board' for a multiple phase installation. If it had a clear label on the lid stating that 400v was present, and that both isolators should be switched off before removing the cover I would be ok with it. It may be rough and look like a badgers nest but its not unsafe in my opinion.
It's hardly a common type installation with 2 isolation points when 1 will be the norm, imagine a Domestic installer or Eletrical improver turning up to do some work, only to find two live conductors in what is a fter all an enclosure designed for a single phase supply.Why is it very dangerous in your opinion?
