3Phase Cooker question

[barera]

Cooker being installed 2.5 meters from DB. 80a cooker, 52Kw, 17.5Kw per phase.

What size cable is required and what size breakers?

Many thanks.

 

[pdcelec]

a cable that will carry the required current and an mcb that is suitable for the circuit. Both answers in BS7671

That is one big cooker at 80A per phase?? You sure you got your sums correct? I take it that it's not domestic. Have you done the sums to make sure the DB can take this load too?

if its for a collage assignment then you really should be working it out yourself not asking on forums for an answer.

what size breakers?

How many breakers are you fitting??

I'd recommend to the customer that they ought to take it back and get a gas cooker!

i would guess three, as its three phase. (well a three phase breaker which is three breakers) whats so about that?

a 3 phase breaker is 1 breaker.. it's just 3 pole..
