MIC

seanaway

HI. I'm looking to rent a small retail unit for a takeaway type cafe. I have had several discussions with electricians about this but need to know the following as it is holding up progress.

I will be using little by way of equipment. 1 fryer (either 6kw or 10kw depending on the final answers I get), other equipment/lighting would total around 5-6KWs.

The electrician has told me the standard MIC on a retail shop is 12KWs/single phase.


My questions are:
Is 12KW the standard for a retail premises? (Single phase I know is standard)
If I go over this do I pay more per KW I use and is there an issue with fuseboards blowing etc?

GIven the loads I am describing, is 12KW sufficient for my needs. I will not be running all the equipment at the same time so I can't see needing more than 12kw.



Thanks
