Are you kidding? 6200 watts is 6.2 kw 6200/230 =26.95 but you apply diversity to that but you know how to do that?

Ok bud, 1000 watts is 1kw so 6200 watts would be 6.2kw, you take your 6200 watts divide by the voltage 230 = 26.95 amps but then apply diversity 10 amps +30% of full load after 10 amps so 10 amps+8.1 +5amps if there is a socket in the cooker isolator so it'll be either 18.1 amps or 23.1 amps depends on whether you have a socket 32 amp will be fine on 6mm cable

Hi Peter,

Few of us are that good with formulas, I use the following web site (and a few others):
