My friend is building a house and his 3 phase metre is about 60m across a field.
I was wondering could i just take out the metres and put in a 3 phase 80amp isolator and run a 25mm 4 core SWA cable from there to the new location?
Could any one suggest anything easier, or cheaper?
 
Any of the energy suppliers can trace the MPAN if you quote them the whole meter ID number and the post code.

Also, do you actually need a 3ph system on a house build? It would be cheaper to get a whole new supply put in and probably a much cheaper 1ph would suffice.

Oh, and you probably won't satisfy your voltage drop requirements with that size of cable over that length, btw.


Will have a look for code on it.

Yes he needs 3 phase for machinery in garage.
 
I know it's money NOT going in your pocket, but you'll find the DNO's will charge less for a whole entire incomer move than you could even buy the cable for to extend it, plus have no worries about Vd and also probably get a better Ze out of the deal, too.
