Hi,
I'm considering getting an industrial unit for my workshop.
Currently all my equipment is standard UK single phase and the industrial workshop comes with standard 3 phase power. I'm wondering if I can quite simply wire out single phase electricity from the 3 phase power, just by only using 1 live wire. To my knowledge, this is entirely possible, but can someone please confirm?
Also, what about voltages? Again, to my limited knowledge, 3 phase is 400v while single phase is 230v, so if I only use 1 live wire, does that step down the voltage too or do i have to install something to bring the voltage down?
I plan on hiring an electrician to do this anyway, I'd just like to know for my own curiosity. Thanks
