robbo 879 Posted November 20, 2016 Report Share Posted November 20, 2016 Three phase is the three cables you can see and the earth and neutral are created at the step down transformers that you see on the poles. the voltage in the 3 cables you can see is far too high to feed your property and has to go through a transfomer to get it down to 415 or 240. To get a 3 phase supply to your house you would need a cable running from nearest transformer or tap into any 3 phase cable that runs past your property.[if you live in a housing estate they run down the road ] If you live in the sticks they will stick you your own transformer up and feed your property from that but it can cost thousands[ friend just had an upgrade to cope with his solar panels and it cost about 8 grand] hope this hasnt confused you even further.
