2.13 Electrical installation requirements.
Circuit Breakers (MCB ~ Miniature Circuit Breakers).
For over current protection, a Type ‘D’ circuit breaker (designed specifically for this type of equipment) must be fitted, as a
recommend alternative a higher rated type ‘C’ type breaker can be used (see below). Establishments with standard (Type ‘B’)
circuit breakers are sensitive to ‘surges’ which occur on switching on freezers, refrigerators, and other catering equipment,
including microwave combination ovens. An individual, suitably rated over current circuit breaker should be fitted for each
appliance installed, along with a separate dedicated Residual Current Device (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter).

Residual Current Device (RCD)
The installation regulations require protection by a Residual Current Device (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter). Suitable residual
current devices, with a high immunity to nuisance tripping, meeting the relevant national regulations must be used. As long
cable runs can be a factor in nuisance tripping, they should be avoided.
If the installation includes more than one appliance, one residual current (GFCI) device must be provided for each appliance.
Low impedance electrical supply.
This commercial combination microwave oven complies with EN 61000-3-11. However, when connecting sensitive equipment
to the same supply as the appliance, the user should determine in consultation with the supply authority, if necessary, that a
low impedance supply is used.
Electrical supply.
UK 13A models are fitted with a moulded plug to BS1363, fused at
13A.
EU 16A models are fitted with a moulded plug to CEE 7/7 (Type F
Schuko) rated at 16A – “Commando style plug”.
Single
phase
60Hz
(Two pole)
Single phase models, utilising L1 & L2 split phase supply (240V) or L1
& L2 from a three-phase supply (208V). Neutral is not used.
ROW 13 A models are fitted with country specific 15/16 A plugs.
Please refer to electrical installation data for other country specific models.
