Just happened about 15mins ago, checked the RCD, no juice getting to it. Only some houses down rd affected, and some behind. just spoke to Scottish power, think maybe a phase gone down. Thing i dont get (im no sparks) is next door bothsides unaffected!!! Fixed in 3 hrs im told...Clocks ticking! Missed the end of criminal minds!!! Best let you know that im in the North End...AND ive paid my bill!!!! LOL
3 phase is three phases....live 1, live2, live 3. each phase has 230V running down it and each house will recieced one of them and a neutral. I think the houses might be wired evenly so that number 1 will get a brown phase (230V) number 3 will get a black phase (230V) number 5 will get a grey phase (230V)
and back to brown for number 7.Basically its just a way of spreading the load/demand.
You must be on a different phase to the houses either side to you.
