This is correct, If I was just taping one of the phases I wouldn't care. But I am using a completely seperate cable for the phase, and just borrowing the neutral.

There are 4 circuit breakers in play here, three from the 3 phase oven, and one for the socket phase.

I don't have the appliances yet, so can't do any loads tests, and I won't get them until after the floor is laid, and then its too late for me to run any new cables if needed. Hence the speculation now.

Thanks for all your comments. I think I am going to run another 3x2,5mm anyway.
