Unexpected high current on 3 ph induction hob.

hertzal123
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,

                              Regards,Hz

    I was also going to mention the frequency issue especially if it has a motors in it they MITE not be too happy on our 50 cycle supply.US mains supply's are a nitemare how can one country have so many voltages? It's a bit like hear years ago when mains was anywhere between 190 and 250 and between 25 and 100 cycles or even DC LOL
