3 phase cooker

[Tooold]

Hi all, got to price one a bit quick and am looking for a nice looking isolator, done a search online and not had much luck. Customer doesnt want a big metal thing on the wall! its 16 kw 3 phase so pretty sure I have to get an swa into it. Thanks in advance.

you could use a rotary isolator. or if you really dont want that, a small switch to work a contactor out of sight.

as for cable, there are many other options apart from SWA. for a start, there is H07RNF & SY flex

I know what the cables are I just havnt bought them and only come across them when already installed, am going to get price for all just so I know for furure ref. If it makes it cheaper and easier to install though I'm all for it.

may not be cheaper. but most likely easier and a better job

Was going to use a plug and socket behind cooker so would prob need to be flexible to the cooker anyway.

16Kw 3 phase cooker on a plug and socket???? Presume you mean 'commando type' not 13A plug top and 13A socket

i wouldnt be surprised if someone has used a 13A plug for 3 phase, no earth or neutral

Crabtree do some reasonable looking 3 phase isolators, surface and flush versions.
