I'll soon be installing a 45A 3 phase deep fat fryer at the school where I work. The run is approximately 7m from the DB, and the cables will be enclosed in empty trunking. What size cables will I need?

I don't think the OP is certain of anything, or even coming back.

He never came back when people replied to the other questions he asked on here either.

Looks like @westward10 has frightened him off with post #2 last seen at 4:23pm with post #3 at 4:41pm

A lot of the bigger deep fat fryers are dual fed with two pans and can go up to 2 × 30kw.

Glad to see the schools are offering healthy options….

Deep fried everything!

I was once dared to eat 2 kingsize deep fried mars bars , for about 20 mins afterwards I swear i was having a mild heart attack

I'm sure they have, but based on the information provided in this case you have advised someone to connect a 45A three phase load via a 16A socket and 2.5mm cable.

Normally 13A per phase when I've seen them but at the end of the day the bloke shouldn't be asking simple questions online

Never had one, never even seen one!
I think it’s an urban myth.

Although a local butcher does do crème egg scotch eggs at Easter.

Every commercial three phase fryer I've seen uses that setup unless this is a massive industrial fryer.... No wonder kids are so fat now

Carbs makes people fat. The fried-in-vegetable-oil thing keeps you slim and trim whilst simply clogging up your arteries from the inside.

The chippy in Largs (the one with the viking outside) do deep fried mars bars. Pretty sure the deep fry other confectionary too.

True story (and one that @davesparks and a few others on here will relate to...) Was running temp power on a large food festival a few years back, standard sort of supplies for that tend to be 16/1's for fridges, maybe 32/1's for larger setups and very occasionally you might get asked for a 32/3 by a larger vendor (because mostly they all use LPG systems for cooking). Anyway, there'd been a short notice replacement for a trader that we had no knowledge of, so this trailer appears and I ask the guy what power he needs (bearing in mind that it's all charged for) and he says a 125/3. And sure enough, there's a 125/3 inlet on the wagon but that's not uncommon(ish) as people will wire up the internals to whichever way makes sense but it doesn't necessarily reflect the draw, which is what I'm interested in. So he opens the door for me to see inside...... bank after bank after bank of electric deep fat fryers!! "OK.....so.....I'll just see if I can find a spare generator for you....." And the name of the vendor??..... 'Taste of Scotland' !!!
