Wiring for 2ph coffee brewer

I was thinking that would probably be the case but was unsure about the phase offset with regards to 3ph being 120deg and the USA using 2ph at 180deg??

Wiring for 2ph coffee brewer

I've been asked to install a coffee brewing machine which has come from the the USA. The plate says 2L/N/PE 230/400v Any advice on how/if this can be wired into 3ph/1ph supply would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks

Running of distribution cables

I think that's a good idea as I read the same thing on another DNO's website

Running of distribution cables

There are obstacles galore Des. It's not a straight run by any stretch of the imagination. I haven't got the most experience with tray and trunking so was hoping for some inspiration!! I'll work it out!!

It confirms what I already had in mind to an extent. I thought I would ask others their advice incase there was a better way. Why would I not be up to doing this work Pete?

Ok. Thanks for all your advice. It's very much appreciated. I've just been reading through the WPD paperwork and it specifies that "The tails should be Tri-rated cable" Does anyone know if SWA is classed as Tri-rated?

That's true, although there is racking along the block work and there's a good chance of the cable being crushed by forklifts loading and unloading the racking

The existing 100a incomer will be removed and the existing bus bar chamber uprated

What would you fix the tray to? I'm not sure the metal panelling would be very strong for fixing to and the block work would be to low and liable to damage with forklifts around

Yes these are the existing installation pics. The existing incomer is to the left of the brown door. The proposed new incomer is to be installed about 10m across to the right of the brown door on the wall 90 degrees. Where the green fuel tank is currently.
