First post here,
Wired 2 new 2.5mm t&e radial circuits for a kitchen. Single oven being installed so haven't used a dedicated circuit.
Stupid of me not to check but oven is 3.5kw, large for a single oven id say!
I've tried to work out max load on the circuit and I've worked out if I was to put in a 25A MCB in place of the 20A I originally planned I should be okay. Looking at around 5500-5700W when everything is in use, roughly 23-24A.
Cables are clipped direct then under the plinths, run in free air. Ref method C, which some say 25-27A
Bit worried on the loading on the cable. Can anyone clarify if I'm okay to be doing this?
Thanks
