Nominal power of a oven

[M1Chanical]

Hi, would this be the value used when calculating the cable size.

Could this be connected to the kitchen circuit

Or a is a dedicated supply required?

"Nominal Power: 5.4 kW

Supply can vary depending on usage, please consult a qualified electrician for ampere requirement"

As it says, the Nominal Power is 5.4kW.

However, it depends, as you say, what is the maximum that could be on at the same time.
This then would be the Design Current of a circuit solely supplying the oven.

If it were less than 13A then it could be fitted with a plug and plugged into the socket circuit.

Have you any more details?
If not, what is the make and model number?

Hi

Thanks fo the respone

I got the wattage from a manual I found online, but I don't thinks its the exact model having just checked again

I've just found the product info on a website

Its states 30amp supply required, so I'm guessing dedicated circuit? I'm asking on behalf of a plumber who's putting in the gas feeds he just wants to know if the clients needs to arrange for a sparks to put in a feed as he didn't notice an electrical outlet.

Me too - Yes, it will need a standard cooker circuit.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Well, to be accurate 5.4kW is 22.5A but they may as well install a standard cooker circuit.

When you say "oven" I think you mean "cooker"

A cooker uses much more energy than an oven does.

It is vital to know, but unclear from your posts, if this is an all-electric, a dual-fuel, or a gas appliance.

Quoting figures from some other appliance is worse than useless, it is misleading.

Yes, but the hob is gas.

Free standing cooker with Gas hop, i thought the power consumption was the main info.

Any how what do you recommend?

Just found this on the next page -

so it can't have a 30A/32A fuse/MCB with that cable (well it could, but...).
Best let an electrician examine it and decide.

Is there another rating plate or sticker anywhere - sometimes inside the door surround?

If it's a dual-fuel cooker with a gas hob, and a large and a small electric oven, it probably needs a 20A supply, but I don't see the figures for the actual cooker you have in mind.

13A is insufficient for a double oven.
