Sorry to be so off topic, but a Google revealed nothing. I need to know the
approximate cost per unit of 3 phase electricity. My landlord is rumbling a
lot about my consumption, keeps telling me I use about 160 units a day?
Having only had 2 electricity bills in 10 years from him, were not dealing
with Einstein, but if I could get an estimated cost of a unit, I'm prepared
in case his one brain cell kicks in one day !!!

I don't think it matters if it is 3 phase power or single. To get is
right you will need to know the tariff name and your supplier.
But as a rough guess 11-12p
The standing charge is normally greater for 3 phase but that is very
variable with your suppliers tariff.

3-phase per unit is the same as single-phase per unit as far as I know, I
haven't seen anything that leads me to think otherwise over the years.

That would be 6.6 kW continuous 24/7/365 ..

Prices vary quite a lot, but 10p per unit is about right after the first
1,000 or so units - so 160 units per day is £5,840 per annum. Not
surprised he's complaining ...

Oh btw, the charges are about the same for domestic single phase and
three phase - but industrial use has VAT at 17.5% added, while domestic
use VAT is 5%.
The standing charge maybe be more for 3-phase too. Depends on the
supplier. If an industrial user uses a lot they may get a discount too -
so it's not easy to be accurate.
