No Tiny, you misunderstand mate.

L3 would be the only phase with any EL's connected to it.

Is it ok to have 3 phases in that arrangement??? As you would have 3 different points of isolation in one accessorie.
Or does it just require a warning label above the switches.

Its permitted Dazza yeah.

You see it all the time in industrial setups - a 3 gang gridswitch with the 3 gangs each supplied with a different phase and feeding out to fittings from there.

Your correct in that a 400V warning label is required though.

Thats ok then, Its a personal hate of mine as I got caught out years ago by someone who used 2 different phases in 1 light fitting!
Air turned blue and I was not a happy bunny....

I can imagine Tiny, ive seen a similar thing with a timed supply to Ambirad heaters........very dangerous and makes you wonder how some 'sparks' manage to sleep at night!
