How to get 3 Phase Power?

[Clive S]

if you are in a small industrial park/premises or one within/near a residential, mostly likely it wont have 3 phase as the demand is not enough.
That and I believe they try not to install 3 phase near residential as it is expected the equipment that uses 3 phase typically results in more noise pollution..?

I would suggest that most industrial units have 3 phase. Also there is 3 phase around most residential developments but they don't like bringing it in to a standard house.

I did have 3 phase in my house but had it taken out many years ago

The owner should know if he has it.

In this case, they only have single phase. So this we know.

Why someone in their right mind would have 3 phase removed is beyond me ......

A couple I looked at didn't have it but they were next or within residential areas. That or the agent didn't know or is talking shit..
Can only guess the latter.

When I say small I mean like 1-3 little workshop size small not like a proper park btw.

Most reliable option is to look at where the power comes in yourself. 4 cables in (all of which should pass through the meter), means there is 3 phase coming in. If there's only 2 cables, then it's only single phase.

If there's not a low voltage 3 phase transformer near by, then expect a 5 digit cost. My neighbour just got quoted 18'000 to get a transformer installed to get 3 phase next to an 11kV line.
