as long as the 3 phase supply is not too low .i have seen quite a few 20 amp 2,5mm 3 phase supplies in older areas like obs and woodstock.you would have load balance very carefully.

You may never know what results will come from your actions, but if you do nothing, there will be no results... Rudy Malan † 05/03/2011
you should see the dis.boards in those old houses.a lot are still original,always installed in the passage just as you walk in the front door. you have to walk sideways to get around it. a big wooden board 2m high to fit the kwh meter. earth neutral connections,big fuse boxes,seperate fuse box for the stove. plenty of single core wire outside the boxes. some with no mods since new,except the "blou draad" fuse wire.no earth leakage relay,etc murdoch would have a field day with his camera
this is what amazes me about electricity...maybe the standards need to be changed back to what they were 100 years ago...the reason i say this is because the majority of fires i go to are normally new installations...new plugs over loaded and loose connections in new installtions...or installtions where the sparkies of today have worked on them...old installations dont fail it the ones which have been upgraded or tampered with by sparkies from this era.
the most recent fault finding i did on a building...the fault was found in a junction box mounted in the wall more than 20 years ago...all old parts of the installation are still in tact up to standard and working...however the new work which was done recently is didnt pass...for example a small hole is drilled in the side of the fitting with no glands the hole is a s rough as can be...the circuit house wires are squashed up against the ceiling under the light casing and pulled in thru the hole in the top of the fitting...
anyway as i have said in the past i was called out to trace a fault in the building not to do an inspection report...i pulled my blinkers closed and did what i was contracted to do...easy for some people on this frorum to say it not the right thing to do but i have an idea...anyone who feels this is not the right thing to do please give and order number and 70 % deposit of R62196.12 and i will start making people more aware of their problems write reports of all the bad installations i find on my daily rounds otherwise be my guest join me on my daily rounds and i will leave it up to you to gather all the information and waste your time sending them to the DOL or AIA and you can
feed your family...

just to mention a few of the obligations we as company owner have to come up with... with the money you generate from the task.
