within phase 3 i've got my own circuit breaker for the studio
I'm not sure how they did the earth but i had a huge pin been hammered into the floor when house was built, so not sure if i got got 2 or they "upgraded" the pin |
Wow, you either have an absolutely massive house, an over achiever of an electrician did you build out or Holland goes way over the top when it comes to electicity
I've never seen a single family home or apartment getting it's own 400v 3 phase supply unless it's a fucking estate/mansion etc. To do that for every home just seems complete overkill - it's just not needed, but then I suppose if the cost of all that extra is covered by the home owner, then the energy companies are probably hugely thankful and also a reason why you never get voltage drops etc. Totally over the top in my mind,
Palm, what is IT net?
@Geoff - Andy is on the money but I would suggest running a new circuit for the studio from the consumer unit but I would go with a few differnt breakers (not one 32a). Split the lighting circuit on one (flourescents, dimmers etc will really dirty things up) and another for the kit. You also don't want a blown bulb taking out all out your plug sockets
It is pandoras box though if you've got an old house as Andy says; you may have to bring the whole wiring up to current code which in some cases can be a nightmare but if your house was built or at least renovated from 1980 onwards then you're probably alright.
I cannot understand why any leccy would ever allow earth on neutral - it completely defeats the point of having a discrete earth at all.
