Single phase vs three phase equipment
Understand the power supply before a new oven, mixer or dishwasher arrives on site.
Commercial equipment may use a standard 13A plug, a higher-load single-phase connection or a three-phase supply. The plug alone is not a reliable guide.
Check the rating plate and manufacturer documentation, then ask a qualified electrician to confirm the available circuit and isolation requirements. Converting or replacing an unsuitable appliance after delivery is expensive.
Listings on Catering Equipment Market show structured power information wherever the seller provides it.
