Hi folks,
New to here, and have an equaly newbie question. Have done plenty of googling and just confusing myself, so thought I'd ask the experts.
Anyhow, heres my problem.
I've just taken over an industrial unit, which from what I can gather was previously used by a joiner/carpenter using some pretty heavy machinery. As such, along with the 3-phase supply has a 3-phase meter and consumer unit.
Now, my intentions for the space are musical. There is no equipment designed for, or requiring 3-phase supply. As such I have been wondering if pluging my delicate single phase equipment into this would be a good idea. Have also seen it mentioned that using single phase electrics on a 3-phase meter may cause inaccurate billing, to do with only 1 phase being used yet being billed as if all 3 were using same.
Basicaly would it be worth my while getting in contact with the electric company and having a single phase meter and CU fitted?
Cheers in advance.
