No you can use a dual outlet plate from same circuit than oven.So no need for the hob to have its own 6mm to a new RCD ?
Did not comply with their stated method of installing without having to think.However we have heard on this forum how some pedantic electricians working for high street retailers have refused to connect an appliance because they felt it did not comply.
It would be very easy if they were.It would be very hard to say they were wrong
Same answer.and reclaim the payment which the paper work it says in non refundable should the installation not comply with current regulations.
Why? It just means not on the Ring Final Circuit.It is the rules on items over 2kW and fixed should have a dedicated supply and clearly when supplying two items it's not dedicated.
To what are you replying?However this is in appendix 15 not the main part of the regulations and says "can generally be achieved by" not you must. As I have said to my mind to refuse because of this to connect is being pedantic but also can't say they are wrong.
A 40A device is okay, but bear in mind the cable route and de-rating factors, as it stands 6.0mm T&E will carry a Maximum of 47A, but this can quickly be reduced if the cable along it's route, is within insulation or conduit/trunking, and the type of fuse being used will be a factor, also if the cables length is extreme from CU to point of delivery, then voltage drop would be factored in.Having another look at this today, the fuse is 40amp would that change anything ?
What you have in place at the moment is fine, providing no deratings of cable is required. If you were to run another cable over, I would then suggest using both existing and new cables, then each appliance (oven&hob) will have a dedicated supply.Do you think it would be better to have 10mm ?
You couldCould we have 10mm from CU to dual outlet then run 6mm to hob/oven ?
