Oz wiring standards (a couple of pics for you)
Working on a job today with youngy and we had a few 3 phase circuits to work on. The cables we wanted are 3rd row from the back!

oh it gets better! the objective was to make 3 sheds which had single phase supplies into 1 shed with a 3 phase supply then have 3 sub supplies from the main board without actually replacing any cables. all the existing cables went into a junction box 2 metres above the main board. we had 5 actives, 4 neutrals and bugger knows what else . it tool us 3 hours to figure it out (sort of anyway). red cables which were neutrals and blacks which were actives.the phases from the meter board ( stus photos) were protected by a 45A,25A and 20A fuses and then one was on a 20 A breaker. the next job was to hook a 3 phase hoist for a car at the same shed. one of our colleagues had previously ran in the supply ( sadly no photos). it really is amazing how you can bend and twist cable to get it exactly where it needs to go and if you just jam it under a perling clip to secure she'll be right, no dramas, no worries, too easy,mines a gold, like a bought one.(that last ones mine). the 3 phase was wired with a piece of twin and a piece of twin and earth if anyones curious.
