    But if I do that; and it is a very simple job; what about polarity? I was told by the computer shop that polarity of supply was important with these LG monitors and it isn't marked on either the supply or the input. I didn't think to ask to keep the old PSU with attached integral output cable

    Conjecture on my part. but with the heat sink attached to the PSU it is much cooler, no doubt due to better airflow around the unit rather than transfer to the added mass. I can hold something that's around 50C with no problems but if I get a chance I'll put the heat probe onto it and get an approximate reading. As for changing the plugs from the old one I have no idea what the polarity is or I'd do something for when this one dies.

    Perhaps a slight exaggeration.

    We are now rethinking things almost entirely. If we could find a block of land we like it would be simply and cheaper to build new when the current tradies and material crisis ends in a couple of years time.

    Most of the induction cooktops we looked at were 11kw or more. Freestanding ranges were much higher draw.

    I'm guessing that the oven takes 16 to 20A and the Induction top takes the remainder but there doesn't seem to be a way to split it. Even so our main supply is only 68

    Well it was 11 years ago we did the range. Range is still OK but the turkey oven is well past its use-by date. Yes I cook a lot. Money We may not be rich enough to switch from gas to electricity to help save gay whales and the rest of the planet as a byproduct

    The preferred unit has options for all three possibilities. But if single phase needs 68A supply

    We would really like to upgrade our kitchen with an integrated Induction range and new more efficient oven. But we are currently at the limit of our mains supply. Re the house wiring and main board what is the difference between 2-phase and 3-phase? I want to be able to have an intelligent discussion with whichever Sparkie we get to do the work and be able to make the most cost effective decision we can. Back when we rewired the house we didn't think we'd ever be needing more power but...
