DIYbanter - View Single Post - Upgrade to a three phase domestic supply?

(Pandora) wrote in message . com...
I have moved to an old 5 bedroom house that I plan to renovate,
including a complete rewire.

This is also an opportunity to change the domestic supply from 100A
single phase to three phase, if I wish.

I am trying to find a website that has a list of typical currents
drawn by, or VA rating (not Watts - I don't know the appliance power
factors) of, different domestic appliances so that I can calculate if
I would exceed the 100A limit of a single phase supply. Anyone know of
such a website?

Aside from the danger of 415V in the house, would anyone care to
comment on the risk/reward of a domestic three phase supply? (E.g.
higher standing charge?). I do not intend to use any three phase
equipment in the house.

Thanks for your help.
I looked at doing this but one of the things the supplier insists on
is that all phases have the same loading. To do this meant spliting
the phases around the house which i thought was too dangerous so ended
up with a uprated supply 100amp i think , this was the largest they do
at the base price any larger and it was a special job = expensive.
