Cloggie Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I want to buy an electric pizza oven but I found out that it needs 3 phase electric and I have only 2 phase electric at my rented home in a moo baan. It is possible to install 3 phase electricity for only one device only at your home and any idea about the cost? Understand that it will have to be 'approved' by the owner but I have no idea about the cost and at the PEA there was today nobody who could speak English.... Who want to share his thought with me, it is possible or should I forget the whole idea. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMc45 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 For something like a Pizza oven you probably don't really need 3 phase. It is most likely only 3 phase to balance out the large load of the heating elements. The question then is how many amps is it on 3phase and how many amps is your single phase service?

Build one yourself or you can buy a kit online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 And to get back on topic, these are the costs for PEA supplies. Second column is the deposit which you should get back for your existing meter. Add two more wires from meter to house (Thailand is 3-phase, four wire) and a 3-phase main breaker in front of your existing single-phase board and you're good to go.

bankruatsteve Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 I started using my BBQ grill for pizza and it works great. Mine is 4 burners, 2 on the left and 2 on the right. With the right burners on high and the left on low and the cover down, it will come to 250C almost immediately. My 2 element oven would take about 30 min. to get to 220C. Anyway... put the pizza stone (or whatever pan you use) on the left, cover down, and you have a pizza ready under 15 min. I've read where some will put the pizza directly on the grill but I'm not brave enough to try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloggie Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 First of all, thanks for all your comments - very helpful! Pictures I took today. Not sure now if it uses 3 phases (as told to me by the auctioneer) or just 1 phase as I can read on the electric oven / electricity cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Looks single-phase to me 6.6kW is about 30A , 4mm2 cable to a 32A outlet (one of the big round blue ones). Looks a beast https://linkrich.en.alibaba.com/product/60575385998-802585313/Professional_Supplier_Electric_Two_Deck_Bread_Baking_Oven_For_Sale.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
