Found one that I liked with a similar measurement. Panasonic 2 doors. Saw that in an electrical appliances shop in kajang. I have not finalized the measurements though. They are just approx. smile.gif

Good stove for Chinese cooking is when you fry vegetables it cook fast yet maintain the crispyness of the texture. This need good stove with strong fire power. When stove does not deliver the heat to the wok, you get soggy vegetable.

You need to take into consideration Induction hob lifespan are short, therefore get a reputable brand product easier to claim warranty. Never the less the radiant type hob is not that reliable too (especially with the fancy controller).

Is simple, electronic stuff just don't go well with heat.

All incoming from tnb need to use 230v for calculation. Tnv officially supply 230v no longer 240v

I will use 220v for calculation, because the incoming always have variance. Is best to over spec than having problem later.

Career26,

Sorry to step on the brakes to back track. You raise a very pertinent point and point 3 here raise some misgivings I have concerning putting the cart before the horse.

To clarify: this place of yours how recent is the development? If in pre-2004, I hazard a guess that they planned for gas cooking using 60cm or domino hob style. If later or was renovated before and has an induction/heat plate/vitroceramic hob before chances are high wattage wiring is in place.

Otherwise to assume the worst, all electrical is shared off a single 13A or 15A line for fridge, hood and other electrical appliances like kettle, toaster, microwave. At best it's two lines 13A and 15A. Even better if provision was made for electrical cooking is 13A and 20-25A.

If it's an old place, I'm guessing that by buying such a hob, that you'll be doing some form of renovation including adding high amp (20A at least) electrical wiring for this purpose. Hence the rest of this is based on this assumption.

If adding electrical point is not considered as part of the renovation, I recommend revisiting the core assumptions above.  You can enlist an electrician help do a sanity check.

Low wattage means less than 4800W (20A or 4800/240)? That means it needs a separate dedicated apart from fridge, hood. Because if the development is older than 1990s, chances are unless there was previous renovation (with an electrical hob evident), no one in those days would foresee the possibility cooking with electricity and chances are they have only one 13A point in the kitchen or at best one 13A or one 15A.

Not that I want to spoil your renovation journey but by knowing this in itself beforehand is to be sure that we know where you stand and don't give advice in a misleading manner. Not a problem if the electricals are known - I assume here that by saying low wattage there's something in mind between 15A to 20A. But if you don't yet know, better to sort that out first then you can see for sure what options lies before you.

It would depend on how well you maintain & use the hob.

My old vitroceramic ariston hob is already close to 7 years and still working! It has seen frequent cooking as well and only 1 time, the fuse blew but that was fixed and no other problem came up that required me to call ariston's service centre either.

Friend just replace his 3 years Vitro hob from JF Home, and my colleague Teka induction claim warranty 3 times, funny the same model Teka, his sister using much longer without issue. Could be luck, or the usage pattern. Both seldom cook.

If your house is a single phase, using the electric hob at max already using 55% of your house incoming. If you have any water heater or few AC switch on together you risk tripping the main fused (if it don't trip will burn the wires). Must be careful about especially having party or gathering.

Hi halcyon27,

For 20A, that means it can go up to maximum 4800W (240x20) right?

So let's say my hood is 230W and the owen is 2.7kw, that means they are safe to used together with 20A because the total power only draw about 3000W?

My wiring man advised me use 20A for the owen alone. Is that a particular reason to do so?

Thanks.

Our supply are 230v, theoretically you can only achieve 4600watt. But what you see is only the MCB, not the wiring, what wiring size the wireman use? 2.5mm? or 4mm2?

For safety reason, is not advice to load the wires max support current for long period of time, because it will harden the outer later and may cause damage/fire if it run too hot for long period of time, also how sure is the supply wires have pure copper?

In engineering, it always safer to run load below the maximum design.

Dunno yet. 6mm or more
I don't really need 45amp as my appliance only takes 27amp max. I guess I can put a 32amp switch. A bigger one won't burn out as easily.

yawn.gif Every time you cook TNB will be very happy.

Such a high current, doubt you can get any good nice looking residential switch to support it. May want to check industry usage switch for heavy duty smile.gif

You don't off, your induction may rosak faster.
