    Hello

    I am in the process of changing the installation from 1-phase to 3-phase (due to the planned 5.5kW induction plate)
    Some time ago, when I asked what Connection Power to provide in the EV application, someone gave me a link to the calculator on the Vattenfall website.

    I had a demand for about 8.3kW, so I gave 9kW in the application.
    It has a 16A fuse in the connection conditions.

    Recently, an electrician who watched what was to be done said that it was not enough and I should have 13kW, so that I have 16A fuses in the premises, not 10A.
    He said that the total load is taken on the pre-meter fuse.

    Could someone explain me briefly on an example where let's assume an indium album. consumes 5.5kW from 1.2 phases, and the oven from 3 phases consumes 3.4kW = 9kW in total, which translates into the value of security.

    The 3.4 kW oven consumes 14.8 A on one phase, which means that the protection of this circuit should be 16 A. The electrician is right.

    Hello!

    The primary collateral in a household with less than 25A is paranoia due to greed.
    Regardless of whether the farm is powered by one or three phases.

    Assuming that you do not have anything electric in the apartment except a stove, it is 5.5 + 3.4 = 8.9 kW and you

    Don't you see any error in assumptions here?
    And then people cry that their pre-meter fuse is out and why you have to pay for sealing.

    To the user zdzisiek1979 .

    Thanks for the tip.
    On page 5 of the guidelines in the table I read that for 3-phase 9kW the pre-meter current is 25A. I am from Łódź, so I have the connection conditions issued by the same ŁZE Dystrybucja which the guidelines apply to.
    So why did they give me 16A (which corresponds to 3-phase 1kW in the table) instead of 25A?
    Is there any mistake on their part? Can I advertise it somehow referring to the guidelines?
    They made a mistake once, because when I went to them to collect the conditions, the request was prepared for my wife's registration address (second apartment on the same floor).

    To the user dent .
    I wanted to simplify the example as much as possible so that it was 3-phase = 9kW in total.

    There is something wrong with this chart. In my region (Świętokrzyskie), the value of pre-meter collateral is selected differently. Alone at home, I have 18 kW 3-phase connection power and 32A protection. Besides, I do not agree with single-phase protections. Eg 35A at 4kW ?!

    I do not know, gentlemen, what is wrong with it, but once someone gave it to me, I would read it and that's it and I kept it on the disk because it may be useful for something :D
    Since they gave a colleague in the guidelines protection from 16A to 9kW, then, counting for a 3-phase network, the current will be around 13.6A, so 16A is enough with a tiny margin.
    There is always a sheet of paper, a pen, a calculator and a pattern :D

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around upgrading an electrical installation from single-phase to three-phase to accommodate a 5.5kW induction plate. The user seeks clarification on the appropriate connection power and fuse requirements. Responses indicate that the total load, including a 3.4kW oven, results in a demand of approximately 9kW, necessitating a pre-meter fuse of at least 25A for safety. Confusion arises regarding the adequacy of a 16A fuse, with some participants suggesting that it may not be sufficient. Various regional guidelines and personal experiences with connection power and fuse ratings are shared, highlighting discrepancies in the application of standards across different areas.
