Polyphase Supply

[BigSim]

Been asked to look at a farm where they require a 125A supply (increasing later), to supply a new dairy running single phase equipment. As far as I know there is no 3PH supply near by (and the existing cut-out is fitted with an 80A fuse), but after a chat with WPD they suggested 2 phases via a polyphase meter to provide the increased single phase supply. Has anybody come across this before?

The village hall in my home village has a similar setup where two separate CNE cables come on from two phases of the overhead PME.
(One for the hall in general and one just for the am-drams stage LX plus 2x water heaters)
There are two separate cutouts but both supplies go via a polyphase meter, and then use only one of the CNE neutrals if I remember correctly.

That sounds very much like what they are proposing.
