I am DIYer but feel i have a fairly simple but reasonable grasp of physics (work as medical Doctor)
I Just moved into new house so we bought a new standalone induction cooker (Belling FSE 60I) and was perplexed to find they suggest a 32amp fuse/MCB is all it requires (and to use 6mm2 cable from the terminal outlet to the appliance). Im a little unsure how they calculated the maximum demand for this.
It has two ovens and it has 4 'burners' and these all also have boost options to increase the power supplied to them by up to 66% for rapid heat up/ boiling etc.
It states on the databadge the Electrical load is 10466-12455W
We have a CCU (that has a socket also) so i could understand if they have used diversity rules to calculate ( 10 + (30% of 12455/230) +/- 5 = 10 + 16.25 +5 = 31.25
My surprise however is if it were sunday roast or Christmas and had everything on full whack then surely this would use the full 12455W and so work out 54 Amps that would easily trip a B32 MCB ?
Or am i being dumb and have all my calcs messed up?
P.S. Ive not installed it yet due to not trusting the manual I will prob get a sparky in to do so
