Sockets for commercial kitchen

[bill01803]

Which make of single socket would you recommend for a commercial kitchen with 3kW plug in fryers so they don’t melt?

He wants 13A sockets, I’ve seen melted click with 2kW load, I wondered if there are any with brass still inside them?

3kw at 230v is just over 13 amps so I dont think 13 amp plugs are suitable.

 

[bill01803]

Well it is a bit odd that they come with a 13A plug

13.04A at 230v.

I wouldn’t have more than two on the same circuit though....less if there is other high powered commercial equipment

Fair enough. I've used hagar sockets in the past and not had a problem.

Thanks streamer just had a look at Hager and they have copper parts in the terminals

I have never had problems with the MK Logic Plus ones, but obviously use single sockets here.

Mk or hager single sockets for any load like that for me. Any cheaper brands can't take it
