    rate 1 and rate 2 should add up to the total, the Kvar ,is a thing of the past, you don't get charged for this, they used to in the past charge businesses this but i think they have stopped now, you would need to asked Eon about the tariff charges, for the different rates,

    I did not think that was possible ( UK supply 230/400V) 400V between phases and 230 phase and earth, so the max earth fault would be 230V, unless the earth became connected to one phase and at the same time disconnected from the rod in the ground ?
