A Few Machines from my Workshop

[awemawson]

Well John, when we moved here (which is a small farm) there was only single phase to the house, and a bit of wet string powering the barn that was to become my workshop. However on Penny's vegetable patch there is a whacking great 11kV to 415v three phase transformer, so as it's only 50 foot from the barn three phase was possible. I put in an application, and within the week a yellow coated man from EDF was at the gate - I assumed to discuss my three phase. Oh no, he wanted to negotiate a wayleave for access to the transformer and their overhead poles. As I said to him, I had no doubt whatsoever that a wayleave could be granted just as soon as I got my three phase supply, so I actually got it installed F.O.C.
