Hi guys,

I just bought Multifunction Oven and it comes with 15A plug(round). My house DB all use MCB20.

The spec of the Oven is

Voltage Range : 220V~240v/1Ph/50Hz, 3*1.5mm²
Power Consumtion : 2.67kW (11.6Amp)

My question is,

1) Can i just change the socket to 15A socket?
2) Do i need to change the MCB20 to MCB32?
3) Do i need to upgrade wire to 4mm?

Thanks

If 15 amp then you need to have 4mm wire. I believe MCB is still ok as long as not sharing with other socket.
Your oven spec, I think 13amp should be enough

Meh. I’ll just change the plug to 13a

Yeah i also thinking the same when see the spec.. 13amp should be enough.. but dont know why it comes with 15A Plug??

If i change the plug to 13A, will my Oven got damage or effected??

I just call the supplier, he advised me to change the socket to 15A only and do not share with other equipment.. is it reliable?? just concern the wire will overheated if not upgrade to 4mm wire.

Unlikely.

The oven is not that high power anyway. I won’t be concerned

change your socket to 15A one.
will last longer.
god knows how many 13A socket and plug i burn liao.

the wiring should be ok if using for the oven only unless your house wiring the developer cut corner and use inferior or smaller wire.

just my 2 cents.

better change socket to 15A because surface connected more. lower the resistance(impedance). if normal 13A plug and socket connected surface is less so resistance is higher. better at the safe area.

changed the sso to 15A type..
i also melt many 13A sso using electric oven..

The 2.5mm cable can manage the amps however a 13A plug would likely be overheated due to its smaller pin contact area compared to a 15A plug or a dedicated cooker point
