in your experience's guys what is an average rating of 3phase coffee machine??? i couldnt find the rating on it but is coming off 32A breaker

surely it cant be 32A each phase

Sorry mate, not a clue

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ????
thought you were meditating there lol.
depends how strong the coffee is i suppose. ;-)

 

[i=p/u]

knew mad/silly question

 

[Guest55]

But i'd be surprised if it was more than 16A per phase to be honest.

Can you not use a clamp meter

 

[i=p/u]

still seems high for a coffee machine.. its just i weas told a 3phase coffee machine would be going in and i pulled in 2.5mm as i new was good for 20A minimum

- - - Updated - - -

was thinking that there now soon as they do a latte , clamp it

Can you not use a clamp meter

another thing , can gu10 led;s work then blow if polarity is not observerd i installed 40 cheap led's and 5 failed within first day..

 

[telectrix]

GU10 LEDs don't care about polarity, and i never seen a coffee machine i rated at better than 2 out of 10.

i see you back in action weetabix. this coffee machine makes all proper noises, n

Some coffee machines have dual wiring options so you can choose depending on the power supply available. How big is the machine, how many coffee heads has it got?

 

[nobelz66]

just wondering how you post a thread on here as ive just joined and cant find this option help plz

 

[i=p/u]

il find out tomorrow ,marvo, could do with the manual but i know a similar one is on 32A breakers, wired in 4mm but maybe this is an oversight on the the installer

i just cant see a coffee machine pulling more than 20A on each phase..

 

[Marvo]

I don't see it either. A 3 head machine would be 4-8Kw depending on the volume it's designed for and the elements, usually 3 of them, are generally 230v. I'd be surprised if it's more than 10A per phase on a 3-phase supply.

last one i did was a Franke evolution, 3ph 16A per phase
