Hi,
I am about to wire in a new electric hob 7.1 kw and a separate double oven 5.4kw.
My old oven is 11kw and was hard wired into a 40 amp fuse spur.
I have been told my hob 7.1 kw should be wired into this, with it's own isolator.
I have a normal 13 amp plug socket for the new oven (5.4kw) as I was told all new ovens can plug into normal sockets. This socket also has it's own isolator switch.
I have since been told this is incorrect and it should be hard wired into the same socket as the hob, and it's ok to share the isolator switch.
Can anyone tell me which is correct please?
Thank you
