    Hi all

    We have a 3 phase 32a socket in our workshop run over 4sq cable.

    We want to set up a test unit that will be moved to trade shows.

    Can we make off a 3 phase plug on a tail and connect the other end into a small fuse box,
    We’re we will divide up into 3 single phase main fuses and out to Mcbs to control individual appliances.

    Example
    L1 appliance 5kw
    L2 appliance 2kw
    L3 sockets and lights approximately 1kw

    Questions
    Could this work?


    Would a 4 Sq cable be able to handle this ?


    Would there be an unbalanced load ?


    Any info or recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
