The AC has been provided as approx 10m of single phase supply , the used 16mm sq cables, being setup for a standard domestic 63A supply. After checking with my sparky, given we have an induction cooktop ( max 42A) and a Pyrolytic Oven (Max 19.4A) , this will exceed the rating of the main circuit breaker.
It pays to check what the MAX Demand of your home will be and ensure they ( your builder ) are going to order the correct sized mains supply for the home, their sparky should have worked this out for them as per the AS3000 wiring rules. A few phone calls today to them, finally got on to the estimator "KP" and he was checking to see what has happened. We gave them the appliance specifications a few times now, last time in Feb when we signed the contracts. My estimate suggest a 100A single phase or better a 3 Phase supply should be installed.... I can see a variation coming. I don't want future problems with tripping the main circuit breaker every time the oven fires up in clean mode. Lets see how this one progresses.
