I know that it should be 150mm from the top and 225mm from the bottom, the middle hinge was normally in the centre. But I have seen the middle hinge alot nearer the top. What is correct and what is the distance?

Depends on door weight, heavy doors benefit from having centre hinge higher than middle position to take the weight when doors are wide open [greatest leverage at the top]. Middle position is usually fine for most .
