Hi All
splashed out and shouted my wife and I a Profitec Pro 700 a couple of months ago. Nice machine that looks to be very well constructed inside. Pulls some very nice shots, even with a relative newbie at the helm. But I have been very disappointed with the steaming ability, especially when trying to texture milk at the same time as pulling a shot, pressure will often drop to nearly 0.5 bar pressure making keeping a decent roll on the milk very difficult. I have had the machine back to the supplier here in NZ and they have tested it beside a new machine and said it is performing the same, disappointing.
So anyway I would like to try running it in the simultaneous heating mode (luckily still available on NZ machines) to see how it performs then. All the reading I have done suggests that I will need a 15amp circuit to do this safely. But although I’m no electrician I understand some basics and by my calculations amps=watts/volts which would mean 2600w heating/240 volts = 10.8 amps, therefore a standard circuit would suffice ?
I also have the Pro 700 connected to a TP-link HS110 smart wifi switch which has a stated 10amp max, but I imagine this has a little head room and should also have overdraw protection that would mitigate any risk to over draw on the circuit ?
Thanks for any advice.
