Hello all,
Ive got 3 phase supply in my house and I am current limted per phase to 25amps. So as to spread the loading, (and reduce the chance of a cross phase 400v shock) we have the house split to phase1 downstairs phase2 upstairs, and phase3 workshop and outdoor stuff. Going monophase isnt an option as parts of the heating system and some of the workshop stuff uses 3 phase power and to run two feeds to a house is extremely expensive.
Now I bought ages ago a fd10 to filter the mains at a previous monophased house, so just bought recently two more fd10's to couple between the 3 phases and filter the mains incoming. Now we do get x10 singnals crossing between the phases intermittently, but its a bit of a lottery if the signal is going to get across with enough strength to reach the module.
So basically theyre not doing what I want. Ive seen since the 3 phase coupler/repeaters that retransmit the signal across the other two phases, and a red activity led flashes to promote this, BUT theyre 260 quid apiece, and after spending out lots on multiple cm12u' controllers and buying 3 fd10's which seem as much use as a chocolate fireguard, I want to hear from soneone who uses these sucessfully (and reliably) before I take yet another leap of faith with my hard earned..
Also do these repeater couplers offer any input filtering? Im not sure if I should leave them in place to filter the feeds and couple with the repeater afterwards (ie at tthe consumer unit).
Anyone bridging phases reliably??
