[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 364168, member: 250"] Without knowing exactly what your real power consumption is, its hard to say if one meter can supply your load.... the governing factor may be the physical size of the incoming cables to the meter from the supply network... In principal it is not beyond the realms of feasibility that one single phase meter should supply a three floor property.... as loads of traditional properties with lofts and/or cellars have this arrangement working quite happily... BUT as you say these were offices... they many be much larger than the average domestic property.. circuit cable lengths also come into safety calculations. At the end of the day if someone is prepare to pay enough money then supplies and meters can be installed almost anywhere.... I am assuming your single phase meter is just a phase off a three phase supply.. NOT a separate single phase supply as well as a three phase.? :popcorn [/QUOTE]
