I am in the process of ripping out the kitchen and as part of the re-working a new Stoves Electric Induction Range cooker is being fitted. I have a sparky (currently on holiday until 17th) coming in to do the wiring when we get to that stage however when re-lining the walls etc I was going run in the cabling ready for him to connect at either end.
In his absence and to avoid delay I just wanted to double check cable spec, he said 10mm would be fine with the current 40amp breaker but it looks to small having looked at the specs a bit closer. Cooker consumption breaks down as:
Hob - Total if all in use 14.7kw (5 plates in total)
Cavity 1 - 2.7kw grill
Cavity 2 - 40kw oven
Cavity 3 - 40kw oven
I was assuming you had to work on the full loading and this seems to be a lot of draw for a 10mm cable and 40amp breaker however, the spec sheet we initially looked at specified a fuse size of 32A (as does that supplied with the cooker).
Hopefully I have got my knickers in a knot over nothing however any advice would be greatly appreciated.
