Default 60 amp single phase plug and sockets???

Would it be illegal to use 5 pin 3 phase plugs
and sockets and share the live and neutral loads over 2 pins each?


Don't parallel up connectors. The behaviour is not as you expect. Any
slightly poor connection causes extra current to go down the other
connection, causing overload, and in the worst case, fire. Use a proper 63A
plug/socket.
