I'm told that the overhead cabling is 415 volts. Does that mean I need a transformer?

Mike G wrote:Yep, that's right. That pole is just a few metres from the workshop. I'll enquire with National grid and see what's what.
Mike G wrote:Yeah, I knew that.... I know a UKPN employee locally who would do this in his spare time for vastly less than going through the normal channels.......if the paperwork is OK, which it won't be.
