Exactly my thinking. In a house or small bar, you get one leg of the same 3ph supply most places get. Very very few amps will take a 3ph supply, so with only one amp, no advantage to using your same supply in a 2 bed semi. Granted you may then have access to larger sockets, but again, stick a 32a breaker and tail out a ceeform from any board and you have the same thing: it's on or off, 63a breaker will let you draw the same as a 32a if the amp maxes out at 28a peaks for example. Only way it will restrict you, is when the breaker trips. |

"Doesn't really matter if it is three phase or not, in the street there
is mostly 3 phase and you get all 3 phases or 1 of them and a Neutral on
the inside. Power is always proper if the voltage is constant and there
is enough current supplied. Way too many BS about 'stiff power supplies mate' going on here from my point of view. "
The current comes from a local transformer. If the distance from the transformer to your venue is large and you have a lot of draw, you could loose substantial voltage. Down here, things used to be really bad and I´ve set up in places where the supply would drop below 200v - especially in the bad old days before LED lighting. Or when there are a lot of coolers/fridges attached. Old school transformer amps don´t like working with that low a voltage - they will clip sooner and available SPL suffers. Fortunately, the old (dodgy) 220v supply here was upped to 230v+ when they started importing power from France, so less problems these days - except when generators are under-specced. |
