Cable type

Jay-apprentice · 11 May 2006

I'm fitting a gas hob with single electric oven/grill rated at 2.4KW. The cable table recommends 2.5mm at 20amps.I've got 2.5mm cable rated at 23amps is this ok or do i need thicker cable for an electric oven.

Yes, but what type of cable?

Does it need to be HR?
