    @salty There's actually three more rows and five spare 16A breakers! Which is why I understand even less why they didn't make use of the third phase at all...

    I was about to say "I'm sure it all works and is in spec, but feels a little iffy" but actually, not really, the single 16A breaker is well undersized for the 7.1kW stovetop hooked up to it, which at 230V (because single phase) would be up to 30A. Let alone also connecting an oven, that would definitely need its own breaker and wire then.

    Two breaker boxes without their covers, right next to each other, the left one housing the main power switch, an over voltage protection and three 16A breakers for the stove/oven hookup. The right box houses two three-phase GFCIs/RCBs in two DIN rows, followed by four more 16A breakers on each row. On the first row, two of the four breakers are connected to two circuits on phase one and phase two, on the second one, only one circuit is connected to phase 1.

    @snep@y.diskcat.com I'll buy your spares for 5€ a piece!

    I you have a full four flame stovetop then it's probably not enough yeah. Just boil a few pots of water simultaneously. I'd actually be interested if the breaker trips.

    @salty Yyyyyyup, that's probably what I'll do. And realistically, everything's already in place, I'd just have to take one of the two leads of the single 16A breaker output and screw it into the second 16A breaker that was installed specifically for the stovetop/oven in the first place right next to it. I wonder why the electricians didn't do so... Weird. :neocat_think:
