Well, that UPS won't work in Germany... A stove circuit is 400V 3 Phase at 16A.
Plus its 50Hz. While a typical US stove circuit is 240V 2 Phase at 50A (though depending on the era, a smaller breaker might be found.... IIRC, mine is a 40A breaker. Also before 1996 3 prong plugs were allowed [in non-manufactured homes] and common, while after 1996 4 prong plugs became required.) Before 1996 it was permissible to ground to the neutral lead. My home is old enough that I don't separate grounds anywhere.... One of these days I should do something about that, but I got an FPE panel. I heard that in the UK they use just a single phase at 50A, probably because all the non-heating element components also run at 240V. ----- Original Message ----- > At least here in Germany you usually get 3 Phases for the kitchen... > thing (stove? oven?) > The one you cook on. > > Go see how many breakers it has. > > Florian > > 2012/7/13 Nick Whalen <[email protected]>: > > I appear to have become the victim of my own hastiness.
