oven’s supposed to be hardwired OR have its own circuit so they’ve actually failed Australian electrical safety standards. Meaning that house fails minimum standards AND there’s no way that a sparky would have signed off on that, so it hasn’t had the mandated electrical safety checks done either.
EDIT: I think some hot water has to have its own circuit as well but I’m fuzzier on that deet. Oven wiring has been a thing for decades though so they have no fucking hope there.
Yeah… inside the apartment (after the internal switchboard) they are on their own separate circuits.
But apparently before the internal switchboard, there’s the external switchboard controlled by owners corp.
The split system’s on its own (“line”? the landlord used the term “line”), the oven/stove/heater/hot water is on another, and all the other outlets are on their own as well. We have been told there’s no problem running the split system and loading up the other line, but run the oven/stove/heater/hot water together and the whole apartment will get cut off from the OC board and requires OC to come out and flip it back on.
