[Solved] Connecting 4-5kW 1-Phase Induction Hob in 10-Story Block with Single Phase Installation

Anyway, make the circuit for induction with a 5x2.5mm? cable.
If at the moment it is not possible to power the apartment from 3 phases, at the end of the circuit install a box with a single-phase socket.
Buy a stove with a cord with a plug.

I advise against buying popular cookers (over 7kW) at this time.

I can not find if you wrote where the counter is located?
And somehow I don't feel like believing that all the premises are powered by the same phase.

You know what if I knew how to check it, I would check it, at the moment I am based on the information from the manager and the fact that I + 3-4 neighbors of my age were in a similar situation and the same, i.e. the 1st phase and the question about bringing the 3 phases to the apartments were sold. The meters are in the corridors, there are two risers on the first floor, there are 6 apartments and there are risers (2 "cabinets" separated by about 10 meters) in each cabinet with 3 counters.



Luke-O , thank you for the advice, I will probably do it, this album will probably be more as an exhibit for now, because I have used the gas one 10 times since September, and when I start it, I probably want to fry an omelette or vegetables from a pan with chicken, so for now it will probably be enough, and if there will be 5x2.5 and in the future they will be more willing to look at the 3 phases, they will replace the disc.

So I guess the topic can be closed, thank you all for your interest.

There should be a bunk box above the meters. Perhaps a square one with two (diagonally) cut corners.
Under it, pre-meter protections, and under them, counters.
If the box has no seals, you can remove the cover and check how many wires are connected to the terminals.
If there are seals, there must be a main board somewhere at the bottom. Based on the number of protections and descriptions, you can get an idea of how many veins there are in lz

How many apartments are there in the whole building?

Thanks Luke for unlocking (i cash register ) I wanted to write one more post for the future for others so that they would know that it is not always worth believing what the manager says and maybe they will know how they can check what wires are in the building,

I wanted to add one more photo, following the directions from cash register I went to check what's in the corridor and it looks like the manager doesn't want to bother with pulling the 3 phases to the apartment, and not that it is impossible, I will try to attack him again, which is a concrete obstacle.

But there are 3 phases from the vertical in the picture.

I understand this photo as 3 phases vertically and after one phase it goes further to the pre-meter protection (on the left there are 3 security devices for 3 apartments)

So, I'm assuming it's not an installation problem, but a problem that the manager had to do something so that I could have 3 connected to the apartment instead of phase 1? because the possibility according to the photo would be?

Yes, in the normal world, you apply for the issuance of conditions for an increase in power to the EV, you get the conditions from them, as well as for the potential manager. Everything is possible, only this is a matter of costs. This current situation is typical, the risers are normal 3 phase and the apartments are single phase powered. All that stands in the way is that the manager does not want to play with it and puts you off. I don't want to destroy walls that have just been repainted, or for some other reason. Everything and the question of whether the tray / tube is on top, or you will do it differently and restore the previous look of the cage on your own.

In the photo, 3 phases and PEN pass through the rail.
So you have 3-phases and you have something to connect to.
It is easy to check - check the voltage if it will be 3x 400V.

Author, start with ZE.
Apply for 3-phase conditions.
That he has documentation. ZE decides if you can have 3 phases.

Just be careful and try not to cook on the hob with other appliances that use a lot of electricity until you add an extra installation to the induction. greets,

It is not only the ZE that determines the power supply.
The building manager also has a say.

Location of the installation for future 3-phase power supply + inquiries to the manager and power supply for connection of 3 phases in the future.
