COOKER AND HOB INSTALL help

[mark83]

Hi wondering if any of you kind gents could give me some advice.

I am about to buy a belling hob and double oven to fit myself . The manual for the hob states must be installed using a suitable double pole control unit,with 3mm minimum contact separation at all poles. It does not say what the min or max fuse protection should be . The only other info is the technical data which says -supply 220-240 50Hz 4.85kw- 6.20kw does this mean max load is 6.20kw ?

The oven says - The appliance must be installed
by a competent electrician using a
double pole control unit of
32 ampere minimum capacity,
with 3mm minimum contact
separation at all poles.

The technical info is - Electrical supply
220 - 240V ~ 50Hz
Load (Wattage)
4120W - 4900W

My consumer unit for the cooker is rated at 40a

What would you suggest for the best way to install these ?the hob + oven are less than 2m from cooker switch and it does not have a socket incorporated

Would it be possible to connect both these appliances together using the click 45a dual outlet plate for easier installation?

The appliance must be installed by a competent electrician

It states that because the existing circuit should be properly tested to ensure it is safe.

Would it be possible to connect both these appliances together using the click 45a dual outlet plate for easier installation?

Yes.


As you have a 40A fuse/mcb, 6mm² (heatproof) flexible cable should be used to connect both oven and hob to the dual outlet.

Were it a 30A fuse/32A mcb, then 4mm² cable would suffice.

Doh - too slow.

Yes.

Thanks guys. Was i correct with - 4.85kw- 6.20kw does this mean max load is 6.20kw ?

Also is it the same here - 4120W - 4900W these figures just mean minimum and max draw ?

One more question ,would it be ok to use 6mm T & E as long as they do not come in to contact with any hot parts.

They don't match exactly but are the values at 220V and 240V.
Should the voltage rise above 240 the wattage will be higher.

For calculations 230V should be used.

Also is it the same here - 4120W - 4900W these figures just mean minimum and max draw ?

As above.

Everybody does but can't advise that.

Thanks for clarifying that for me just wondered what they meant.

Will use 6mm t&e but that's my decision.

Thanks for the help.
