He's just making up stories, the UK has strict regulations on 3-ph
wiring

prevent a single phase appliance being exposed to more than one phase.

So because there is a regulation, this magically stops a
clumsy/stupid/ignorant/sleepy electrician from mixing up the British and
EEC wiring colours and connecting the wrong things to the load? We got
two phases connected to the load instead of phase and neutral. A few
surge protector plugs were no longer plug shaped, and were not the
original colour.


Seems to be adaptive fairy tales - it was only 8 electrolytics in the
original post.
