Tony Orsman Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 I've looked at some of the old threads on this and it seems problematic. I'd like to take a Neff (or similar) double oven to France. We have a new house with an 18KW single phase supply. There is a 30amp supply for the cooker in the yet to be fitted kitchen. This is the same as we have in the UK. Is the problem that the lower voltage requires more current for the same power. I believe the cooker is around 7KW.Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alcazar Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 Teh Fench system is now 230V, as is ours, we went to the same voltage some years ago. Even if your cooker is pre- this change, you're only talking 10 volts, and even over 7kW, the difference is half an Amp, so not worth worrying about. If it trips when in FULL use, simply change it's trip for a 45A one. Remember that 7kW is the MAXIMUM your cooker can use. It's unlikely that it will need that very often!Alcazar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
