Hello,
I would like to get some advice on fitting a new oven and hob.
Current install (not mine):
Oven. On its own circuit, 40A MCB, 6mm T&E to 45A cooker switch/socket, 6mm T&E to oven (no connector plate)
Hob. Plugged into a 13A socket mounted in a cupboard next to the oven!!!
The new oven is 3Kw and hob 6.5Kw. I would like to have them both on the same circuit, i.e. move the hob over to the ovens circuit. I’m thinking of connecting the 6mm T&E from the switch to a Click PRW217 dual outlet plate, but not sure which size cables to use form there.
Both the oven and hob have come supplied with 2.5mm flex cables, but no plugs.
Installation instructions for the oven have also got me confused. Use a 16A fuse?
Why 16A and not 13 (3000W/230V = 13A) ??
So I would appreciate any advice on connecting the oven and hob. I’m assuming the 2.5mm flexes are a no go because of the 40A MCB and that there’s no such thing as a 16A fused spur. Also, are there any regs regarding positioning of the outlet plate?
Many thanks.
