Cheers As i understand, HDB cannot use induction becoz of the min 30A requirement. But you may look for domino type induction which is <20A i think. Can check with your electrician.

You can install a 32A point but not advisable. The max current for HDB is only 40A, if you on your aircon with your hob, the main circuit break will trip at 40A. There are some induction hob that uses 15A point. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers I also looking. Currently have my eyes set on a brandt horizontal type. More spacious n can easily use two point at the same time. but also more x, compare to the domino. Originally, wanted to get from a local brand, but change my mind after I gone to the showroom. Max heat too gentle. Only 2000w. I am still looking, so if you have good lobang, can let me know? tks Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But with this 30amp limitation will have to look at others too and probably need to mix the brand. Saw the Brandt 2 zones, i like it too but it does not have a hood that i like to match. Well, the search continue and heard Teka have some new models coming. Let keep in the loop. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eugela 0 Report post Posted May 11, 2010 I am also limited by the ampere thing but found this Japan Taiyo induction cooker that uses std 13A. Built quality is very good too. You can buy from Courts. http://www.taiyoasia.com.sg/index.aspx?uc=...tail&ID=310 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bepgof 20 Report post Posted May 12, 2010 (edited) Induction cook is efficient, good for "open-concept" kitchen, even good for the "steam boat". Problems are must use "metalic" pan, or container, no ceremic, no clay, no SAN....Heat dissipation is a great consideration for those "built-in" induction hob. Power = Voltage x current x cosQ. Portable ones, usually at 2000W, so 2000=230 x I x 0.8, I = 10.86Aac. 13A outlet is sufficient. Many hostel student like this, Philips Singapore has some models ( I think, 3 or 4), at various wattage, can drop in to the showroom at Toa Payoh Lorong 1 and look see look see. In first post mentioned , "30A" at single phase 230V, means 5520watts. Crazy, want to burn your house? These are for restaurants' chef, some more need forced cooling at bottom, otherwise, electronic components cooked first before food are cooked.
