Default Converting 3-phase to single phase with resilience

It does seem strange to me that power outages are often enough to be a

Might be an idea to see how many locals this affects and get on to the power
network people to fix it properly rather than messing around with the
supply. After all in my road the phases are fed to alternate houses so if
this did happen a lot every third house would lose power, and they don't.

I currently have 3-phase issues at the shop.

1 phase is down on voltage, the 2nd which we were connected to started
browning out randomly a few years back so we were switched to the 3rd
phase which has now started breaking down giving intermittent voltage
drops.

A fault has been identified as 5m from shop but to fix it means knocking
out all the shops/flats in the row which they aren't keen on doing but
it's now been escalated to the fat-controller (I think that's who he
said) for planning apparently..
