    ‘Live’ face plate screws

    Unfortunately a neon screwdriver isn't a great device to use, you need some proper test gear, so I would suggest an electrician is needed to a) check the screws aren't Live and b) to check the power coming in. It could be a faulty socket face plate or something else.

    Question about upgrading to 3 phase

    Where are you, there might be a member on here that might be available? Yes the 3 phase DB can have a temp link between the phases so the one phase is feeding it all. Changing it all over on the same day could be a nightmare for an electrician, I like to have It prepared so I'm literally...

    Question about upgrading to 3 phase

    Depends on the situation, I've done it both ways, installed all the 3 phase DB beforehand with 3 phases then linked until change over day and also done it where they have changed the service head and meter and just feeding the old board phone 1 phase before I go and did the work.
