My Beko oven takes about 25 minutes to preheat to 450. Yes, its 240 volts.

r00ty@kbin.life 8 months agoI thought you guys had 240v circuits precisely for this kind of load? On a decent 30a 230v circuit (they generally don't use anywhere near 30a though) here in Europe it takes considerably less than that. I'd say mine takes 5-8mins for 230c (which is around 450f) and it has a rated power of 3500w.

I guess it likely comes down to power rating, then. Also, with our old oven it used to take around 2x the time the current one does. That was just because the seal on the door was old and worn.

Most of our ovens aren’t hooked up to 240v
scutiger@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Most electric ovens are. 220-240v anyway.

AFAIK almost anything called 220V is actually 240V unless it was made before the 50s

Yes. The USA switched our mains voltage from 110/220 to 120/240 about 50 years. There is a tolerance built in (10%) so that if a circuit is actually running at 100 or 220 then its within specs. A 120v circuit can run anywhere from 108 volts to 132 volts and be within spec. Its a pet peeve of mine when people say 110/220.

I’ve never seen an electric oven that wasn’t 240 volts.
