Switch from gas cooking to 3-phase electric cooking
See how many phases of energy flow into your home
-
1 phase
-
3 phases
The energy meter always shows how many phases of energy enters your house. This can be 1 phase or 3 phases. Look at the electricity meter in your fuse box. How many phases of energy does your house provide?
- 1 phase: there's 220/230V on your electricity meter.
- 3 phases: there's 3x220/230V or 380/400V on your electricity meter.
Are you stuck? Contact your network operator and ask how many phases they supply to your home.
Step-by-step plan 1 phase
To make your house with 1-phase connection suitable for a very powerful 3-phase cooktop, please contact your network operator. They can tell you whether it's possible to supply 3 phases of electricity instead of 1 phase and what the costs are. As soon as you receive 3 phases, call an electrician. They can build a power group in your fuse box and extend the wiring to your kitchen. After this, your house is suitable for a 3-phase cooktop.
Step-by-step plan 3 phases
Does your electricity meter say 3x220/230V or 380/400V? This means your network operator supplies enough electricity for a 3-phase cooktop. Now, it's a matter of contacting an electrician to make your fuse box and kitchen suitable. They'll place a power group in your fuse box against payment and transfer the required wiring to your kitchen. Once all this has happened, your home is suitable for a powerful cooktop that works with 3-phase electricity.
