We had an electrician out yesterday to fix something in our kitchen. I asked him to check our built in microwave and he said the wattage would be pulling around 14.56amps. After he looked at the wall socket he said that this microwave should be installed on its own supply and not on a standard 13 amp plug socket. ( the power rating on the microwave is 3350 watts)
I contacted the guy who installed the wiring and he told me that he had used 32 amp wiring and this electrician was talking rubbish, but I am not sure if this is correct as the socket in the wall is just a 13 amp one.
Any clarification would be helpful
Thanks
