Hi,
Could someone advise if the MCB is the correct size for the installation below.
- Cooker radial circuit on 6mm T&E cable direct from the CU with a B40 MCB and RCD on circuit. Cable is under floorboards, loose and less than 15m in length. Cable feeds a CCU with socket and then a cooker connection unit from where a cable connects to the back of the cooker. Approx 1m of cable is buried in plaster. The total load of the cooker is 10085W.
- The reason I ask is that the shower in the same property and on its own circuit was replaced recently and MCB downgraded to B32 for a 6mm cable and 8.5kw shower.
Thanks in advance for replies.
