Unexpected high current on 3 ph induction hob.

Have to run a supply for a 3ph 14kw induction hob.Without considering power factor,

I calculated 14000/3 divided by 230v to give 20.28A/phase.Looking at the data sheet

the rated current is 38.9A/phase,indicating a pf of 0.52.Is this normal for this type of kit?

Thanks for any advice,

  • I may have found the answer.The hob I looked up is American so their 3 ph voltage appears to be 240,so this would explain

    the higher current.
