We want to extend an existing 3 phase connection with about 15 meters (and drill through 3 walls). We need to connect 3 normal ovens and stove top units (probably about 8kw) + 1 deck oven ( like this: https://www.absolutecateringequipment.co.za/product/single-deck-oven/) to this three-phase connection (in a separate circuit box). If we can add a meter to measure what is being used in this three-phase extension (in that circuit box), this would be good. We also need to know if this extension might require a higher amps circuit breaker on the existing connection.
