    Metering a small supply

    Evening, I’ve got a customer who wants a small DB installed for a couple of lights and an outdoor socket in his container. His feed (6mm 3core SWA) will be coming from a local business so he needs to know how much electricity he’s using so he can pay his bit. What’s the easiest way of doing this?

    UK 3 Phase Supply

    I have recently become involved with our local church when I became aware that the installation was 3 phase. Looking at the meter I see that phase 1 is using 60%, phase 2 using 48% and phase 3 zero. I was always under the impression that 3 phase supplies should be balanced?
