I will hopefully be lucky enough to be buying a barn that was previously part of a farm. The barn is partially completed although the electrics are approaching a first fix stage but not quite there yet. In fact I think, given that the whole place is just a shell, it might be worth taking them out and starting again.
It appears to have a 2 phase supply in and it currently is shared with the farmhouse next door via overhead cables. I will need to get a separate supply put in and was wondering whether a building of this size (4350 sq ft) would require a 2 phase supply??
Are the cables that bring the supply in the same as a normal domestic supply (I assume they are different given the additional voltage they carry)??
Is 2 phase more expensive to install?
Any info on this topic would be great.
