I am fitting about to fit a new kitchen and currently have a standalone cooker which is currently supplied from CU by 32amp MCB and 6mm T&E to cooker socket which then feeds cooker @ 11.5kw via 6mm T&E
I want to change to
CU – 32amp MCB goes to cooker socket which goes to junction box which splits to 1) New Oven (5.7kw) via 6mm T&E
2) New Hob (4.3kw) via 6mm T&E
is this acceptable from regs point of view. Also seeing as I then only have to put Junction box at end of current cable and hook up to oven & hob. Is this change Part P
The following website
http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Technical/Charts/VoltageDrop.html
says that based on the specification below
Twin & earth
Crawl space, & clipped to wall
Load 10W
Voltage 230
Length of cabling 10m
that 6mm is acceptable - see below
Required cable size = 6mm
Voltage drop 3.2 volts
Percentage drop 1.4%
Load = 43 amps
