But only in the same room.
indeed twas what i said post #39;)

Circuit between 15A & 50A can supply two or more appliances in the same room.
The point is, It is NOT limited to only TWO appliances...

e.g.

If it was your cooking fetish you could have 4 x 3.0Kw single ovens,

and 2 x 2.5Kw hobs all running off the same circuit split into pairs off three appropriately positioned isolator switches...

Which coming back to our Table 1B .....

10A + 30% f.l. of connected cooking appliances in excess of 10A.

lets call our 3.0Kw oven a 13A load

and 2.5Kw hob a 10.8A load

now I read that as (((4 x 13a)+(2 x 10.8a)-10a) x 0.3) + 10A =

(((52+21.6)-10)x0.3) =10

(73.6 x 0.3)+10= still only 32.08A!!!!! :eek: :O

So I reckon if you worked stuff backward a 50A circuit could actually supply quite a few ovens if your kitchen was big enough!!!!

better knock a room though! ]:) ] :)

 
(((a x 13)+(b x 10.8)-10) x 0.3)+10=50

(((a x 13)+(b x 10.8)-10) x 0.3)=40

((a x 13)+(b x 10.8)-10)=133...

((a x 13)+(b x 10.8)=143...

I make it 11 ovens (49.9A) or 13 hobs (49.12A).
