Hello all,

I encountered something very strange today and was wondering what a few of you might have to say...

I noticed that in the council supply box (on supply side of the breaker), one of the phases has been bridged. So, coming from the council, Red phase and white phase are connected, the blue phase has however been disconnected, and a bridge piece installed from the White phase to last pole on the supply breaker where the Blue phase initially was.

Something obviously went wrong and so this was done, which we will investigate and rectify. But I am very curious to know whether what has been done is compliant??? Is there a regulation around this? because essentially there is only a 2 phase supply in the house at the moment. I only picked this up while testing. Not at all clever as this could cause problems should someone ever connect a 3 phase load!!

Thanks in advance!
