My kitchen previously had a double electric oven and a gas hob. Due to the gas supply being bottled (I live in the wilds of Scotland where there is no mains gas) I want to change to a Electric Hob and Single Electric Oven.
Existing wiring is a 6mm2 cable back to a 30Amp fuse at the consumer unit via an isolation switch, previously used for the double oven. I am thinking I can use this cable for the new Hob rated at 24 Amps. Any problems with this?
The single oven is rated at 13-14 Amps and in the installation guide it says it should be fited with its own radial circuit and circuit breaker. I have heard that single ovens can be just wired into the ring main. Is this true? I don't really want to have to run a new radial circuit as that will involve pulling up a laminate floor and all sorts.
Thank you for any advice.
