Hi,
I have just bought a Stoves electric hob and oven, i have worked out the maximum running current will be about 35A (for both together), i have run 6mm2 cable inside the cavity wall, but i have just read that 6mm2 cable inside a cavity wall can only run at 32A??? Is this correct (see http://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/electriccables.htm). I based it on the fact the cable could do up to about 48A (shows what i know).
I am concerned now as i have already fitted the kitchen (i have never had an electric hob before). I have fitted a 42A fused spur and a cooker connection point by the cooker, was intending fitting both the hob and over to this, will i have to change my plans????
