conecting a kitchen oven

[Dienekis]

As above i need a suggestion.I bought a used kitchen oven for the workshop.
But here comes the weird problem ,since i am not used of Icelandic electricity ,here they use this plugs for the oven and got with 25 A


Is there any way to conect it to a classic plug of 16 A?

Cheers

If that oven is rated at 25 amps, you really don't want to be connecting to a 16 amp power supply.

Is it the one in the photo?
Check the serial number plate for the maximum current draw or power consumtion.
Stand alone (built in) ovens usually come in 2 sizes. The larger one takes 3.6kW (15.7A). The smaller
2.8kW (12A). Both of these would work on a 16A supply. Your problem would be with the hob elements.
If you can disconnect them or make sure you can't use them, you'd probably be ok. If you use the oven and
all the elements simultaneously, you're liable to have a cable fire somewhere, or blow main fuses, depending on the fuse rating.
Workshop circuits are usually supplied with a 20A rated circuit.

Yes its the one in the photo.Have no intension in using the hob elements.
Also the place i am renting its a room in an old factory used to made plastics.So the main board is industrial made.

Thank you Parbajtor

Stick it on a plug in RCD that way the worst thing that can happen is it trips. then you know its overloading.
the rating is calculated assuming all elements are drawing power so if you only use the oven it should hold.
Thew circuit protection IE the fuse MCB or RCD is there to protect the cable from overheating and causing a fire so as long as the cable has
enough current carrying capacity the protection will cut out if required.

The cable inside the wall on the cable from the oven to the plug? haha i'm not good at this

Seriously Dienekis, if you're not sure about what you're doing, this is a lot of current to be playing around with. Very definitely worth getting someone who knows what they're doing to have a look.
