Just to be clear ..

For single phase residential loads..

Your maximum load is limited to the size of the electrical conductor supplied into your home..

The general max size is usually 2x25mm2 Aluminium Overhead cable which gives you a maximum 60A single phase..

This is also why you must not replace the 60A HRC fuse to 100A because that fuse will not blow before the cable starts to burn..

If you need more load then pull in another wire which will give you an additional 60A..

No a 3 Phase kWH meter will cost you more than double the price of a single phase kWH meter and it uses additional cable..

You only pull in another wire if you exceed the existing ..

i see..
its because i see lots of comments, 3 phase save tnb bills a lot when using a number of airconds.

Normal 3 pin plug can be used run 1HP air-con without problem. Higher power need to use 15A socket.

If not mistaken a 20A MCB is used for 2x13A sockets. 1HP aircon is using no more than 1kW. So, each MCB can support 2 x 1HP aircon without problem. If you need to add 1 more 1HP aircon, just make sure the power is taken from another MCB, i.e. using 3-pin socket on separate circuit.

As long as total current usage is less than 63A (power rating for 1 phase), there is no need to use 3-phase supply.
