Power used by an oven

[Prime Design]

Hi all,

My sister has bought an oven and has asked me to connect it when it gets delivered. She has a 6mm cable protected by a 32A mcb so I told her not to get anything higher than 7.2kW.
I've checked out the oven online and it only gives energy consumption of 0.79kWh.
From that information is there anyway of working out how many amps the oven will draw at maximum usage?
I don't think ohms law is the answer, please shed some light.

Thanks

All due respect its going to take a long time to cook sunday dinner with a 0.79Kw oven!

Ohmigod more like.
Either this is a wind up or someone has "forgotten" something very basic
Wattage/voltage = ?
You then do something else with the result

Even a baby belling has more clout than that

Is it a gas oven?

 

[telectrix]

a 6.0mm cable on a 32A MCB will handle any cooker up to 15kW.

It's giving me kWh not kW

You say you,have found the technical spec online, why not post a link to it so we can get as much info as possible.

Anything between 7.2kW and 11.5kW would need 10mm cable and 40A MCB to 50A MCB I believe

Have you heard of diversity on cookers?

Scary stuff just found on your company website

Services we offer range from the complete design, installation and certification of Electrical systems to emergency callouts for a faulty socket.

I've posted the link and I've never come across diversity on cookers
when installing a cooker I check the maximum wattage and calculate cable and protective device from there

Why is that scary?

You don't even understand diversity that's why.

Some harsh comments on here...
Thanks for you help

 

[Plonker 3]

Do you have copies of BS7671 and the OSG. Which will show you how to work out the info you require.

 

[GMES]

Harsh! What I find harsh re people dabbling with things they are not competent to do.
If you are an electrician then do your calculations, you have got your mcb size you have got your cable size,so work it out.
If your not an electrician then don't do electrical work.
Nothing harsh about any of that!.

Having previously had this conversation only a couple of weeks ago, ill vouch for this and say yes it will be fine!

It's would have been better if it was really as at least he could stick his head in it and put and end to the misery.

Reality can be harsh.

Lol. Nice one centurion.

 

[Resu]

Doesn't take a genius to google the make and model of the cooker (here you go by the way).

 

[Richard Burns]

It is a 10kW cooker and the specifications state a minimum of 32A fuse protection.

 

[Corbs]

maybe have a look at beko website and i get it to 7.8kw

Thanks, that's all I needed, 32A, good lord!

All you had to do was look at the specs on the beko website. Bit of common sense.
