Question: I'm working on a large domestic property having a three-phase supply which is fully loaded on one phase. An extension is being added to the property via a single door from existing property.
Could I use another phase to feed a new consumer unit in the new extension?
Answer: There is no reason why you can't use another phase, and the Regulations do not preclude this option.
