Out of interest who gets the final blame if something goes wrong, the installer or manufacturer.
I am about to fit a 14.1kw ceramic hob range cooker. I enquired of the manufacturer what breaker and cable connections they require. I stated that according to my calcs I could use 6mm with a 32A breaker (allowing for diversity) The reply came back use 6mm with a 40A breaker.
Although I can see this being ok if the wiring is clipped direct, any other method and the cable rating falls below the breaker rating.
So if anything did go wrong with the 40A 6MM config. who would get the blame legally. I know I will in reality
