Hi Scott: I am seeking the information on the normal power supply for electric cooker in the kitchen of Sweden & Norway. It says the power supply varies in 1-ph 230 Vac or 3-ph 400 Vac in 3 wire or 4 wire system at 30A or above. What is the main reason to have different type of power supply instead of unique one in one country? Your advice is appreciated.
In Norway, no PE is provided in house wiring. However, very recently, PE is provided in new construction. In Sweden, the PE is provided. In most of Europe, the service to a residence is 3-phase Y, 400 V, 50 Hz. Each phase of the 3-phase is distributed within the house as single-phase (230 V, 16 A) to appliances and socket-outlets. Where higher power is required, 3-phase is distributed to that appliance. Best regards, Rich - This message is from the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society emc-pstc discussion list.
