If you hacksaw into it, you might be able to see how many conductors

Report back when you've counted them.


I think I asked a perfectly reasonable question. Adam seemed to be
asserting that the cabling was there to the board, which surprised me a
little.


Apologies, I initially thought I was reply to woosyguy's post!

To be honest the only way you could tell would be from the size of the
cable entering the building and it's type and rating.

I would have thought each phase would have been properly terminated and
not just cut.

No problem. There's no obvious writing on my incomer. It goes into a PME
box which looks big enough to terminate two spare phases. It would be
trivial to open it, but I have no need for 3 phase or more than 100
Amps, I was just interested.
