I have a single phase stainless steel pasteuriser that has two control boxes attached to it. One box houses the control for the electronics and motor for the mixing paddle. The other box houses the supply to the water jacket immersion heater. The immersion heater is 1.5kw single phase and is very slow to heat the water jacket. At the moment, the power cable enters the control box and a tail feeds into the immersion box.
There is single and 3 phase in the building. Is it safe to replace the single phase immersion with a 6kw 3 phase one and have a separate supply to that box?
It will then have both a single phase cable to the control box and a three phase cable to the immersion box.
