if 3 phase make sure the 4 A/C distributed among the 3 ; not just on single-phase... else its unbalanced....

even 4 ac on single phase no issue.. just make sure its DIRECT to MCB.. not to the existing wall switch/plug ... only use wall switch for 1hp and below...

You mean AC direct from MCB?

layman burn means what?

if arcing causing melty plastic it is due to loose connection, not due to over load.

To change to 3 phase, basically two things need to be done..

1) apply to tnb. Tnb then will pull new 3 phase cabling from their source to your house tnb meter, then tnb will change to 3 phase meter. U need to pay some connection charges and additional meter deposit to tnb

2} your own electrical contractor works. Need to change the cable to 3 phase from tnb meter to your house DB box. Need to change the DB box to 3 phase type. Need to reconnect back all the wiring to the new DB box
*
So need to pay also item 1)?
