Dear Forum,
Something just came to mind while planning our kitchen: we want to separate the cooktop and the oven/microwave in the room. The cooktop will be installed on the wall where there is an existing high-voltage connection.
The oven, microwave, and refrigerator will be installed at countertop height on the opposite side. There are only standard electrical outlets available there. Could this cause a problem?
In the installation instructions, for example for the Kulinarisk oven, it looks like you need to connect wiring rather than simply plugging in the oven’s power cord.

Hello KnolleJupp,
Thank you very much for your explanations. Just to clarify for me as a layperson:
I’ll try to describe it without a drawing, using compass directions:
Current situation:
Kitchen west side:
Cooker connection outlet with ceramic hob, all three phases protected by circuit breakers
Planned situation:
Kitchen west side:
Induction cooktop
Kitchen east side:
Oven and steam oven
As I understood you, I can connect the induction cooktop to the existing cooker connection outlet (WEST SIDE) and would then still have one phase “free.” Can I extend this phase to the “EAST SIDE” and, for example, connect the oven there?
On the EAST SIDE, I need to install two new cables, each protected by a 16 amp circuit breaker, in order to connect the oven and the steam oven. Will ONE cooker connection outlet be sufficient here?
Thank you.
Regards
Jens

This is allowed and commonly done when a standard range, consisting of an oven including a cooktop (which requires three-phase power), is replaced by a combination of an oven and a separate cooktop.
...Not automatically permitted; each cable needs strain relief in the range outlet box, so this is only possible if the outlet box is designed for it. Specifically, 2 terminals for strain relief, 2 terminals for the neutral conductor (live conductor), and 2 terminals for the protective earth conductor.
...
On the EAST SIDE, I need to install 2 new circuits, each protected with a 16 amp fuse, to connect the oven and the steam cooker there. Is ONE range connection box sufficient for this?
...Have it installed correctly.
