Hi, looking for some advice
I've just rented a small workshop which has 3 phase electricity, it is a shared unit.
None of my work requires 3 phase, single phase is all I need but I would like a meter installed as we would share electric costs.
I was thinking of getting an electrician to install a 6 way consumer unit with a meter for my requirements, is it possible to install a single phase consumer unit in a commercial unit?
I've worked out my max consumption at full load:
3kW - Machinery (max load, would never use 3kW at the same time, more like 2kW max)
6kW - Heating Elements (2 x 3kW each)
3kW - Sockets ( 3 x twin sockets, would never use more than 1kW at a time)
1kW - Lighting, alarm and perhaps cctv
With this meter installed:

Cheers for any advice
