Could someone help me with a little dilemma. I am looking at replacing my kitchen and switching from Gas to Electric. At the moment I have a Gas cooker which is hard wired into a cooker connection unit at the back of the cooker. Next to the CCU is a FCU (13A) above the worksuface is a cooker switch and 3 in socket. The circuit is protected with a 45A RCB.
My question is, if I connect an 8.2kw induction hob and a 3.2kw oven, what size cable should be used. I have worked out the diversity for the circuit and have got 26.9A (Could someone check that for me). Also could these simply be wired straight into the CCU?
Hope this all makes sense, my knowledge of Electric's is only basic and is based on what I have read in books. I have also heard that diverstiy calculations can not be applied to induction hobs, again can someone confirm this.
Thanks for your time guys
