Wiring for oven

awills36 · 18 Jan 2011

Hi folks,
I have wiring for a large range style cooker in my kitchen. 32A circuit
Could I use the existing wiring to power 2 built in ovens side by side.

Am planning on installing gas hobs.
Works out at least £500 cheaper to have 2 ovens rather than a range stle double oven.

Thanks in advance

What are the outputs of the two ovens and what is the current cable size?
Do you have manufactures instructions?
If so, what do they say?

Haven't got any instructions/specs yet. Was wandering if it's possible in principle before finding out more.....

It POSSIBLE. But the spec is required.

Lets say the circuit is OK to handle 32 amps.

Let us suppose that the two ovens you choose are 20 amps each.

Will the 32amp circuit be enough to cope, do you think?

As PrenticeBoy says. You need to determine the ovens that you would like to have and then post the spec on here. We can then guess if it could be done with the existing circuit.
