Hi
I have gas hob with a separate electric oven. The oven does have its own 32A supply at the fuse board. The gas hob does plug in to a socket under the worktop, but I suspect that socket will be on the kitchen ring main.
My question is will that socket be of sufficient rating to run an electric hob?
Secondly, if it is not sufficient, instead of having to run a new cable to the fuse board, can I spur a second socket off the socket the oven is currently using? I don't want to run all new cabling to the fuse board, new breaker etc.
The house is approximately 8years old so will be installed electrically to standards at that time.
I would use a qualified electrician for the job, but at the moment just looking at options to replace the hob if feasible.
Thanks
Steve
