When to buy Phantoms?

Good heavens superstock.............FOUR PHANTOMS!!!!

I have a question, I was thinking of adding a 3rd phantom to produce a 3.0 sound. Left and Right and Centre. But an electrician friend said that would not be advisable because of the power draw, because at full tilt each would require 12.5 amps of power (3000/240) * 3 =37.5Amps. So theoretically my mains ring would not be able to take it. But you have 4!!! So I guess my friend was incorrect.

On the same note, the salesman at Harrods said he had installed multiple Krells rated at higher watt ratings on a UK ring mains, without issue. So based on what you have done and the anecdotal experience I just mentioned, would 3 or more Phantoms represent a problem or not in your opinion?
