16 amp appliances

[whyme!]

If you have a microwave and an oven both rated at 16A and housed in same unit. What is the neatest way to power these. Would a 6mm cable on its own radial circuit be the way to go or two separate circuits

There are several ways, but before doing that, are these appliances really 16A, or just labelled that way because 16A circuits are the standard deal in most of Europe?

Both exceed 3.1KW and manufacturer states 16A supply. Combination microwave 3.6KW oven 3.5KW

After diversity you could almost power it off 2.5mm cable. 6mm would be plenty, 4mm would probably be ok as long as it's not covered in insulation or a long way from the consumer unit.
For a new circuit a qualified electrician would do the calculation taking into account cable route, and install and test it for you.

As above. have a 6mm radial installed then you are covered for future too.

But a new circuit is notifiable work, so a registered electrician is your next call.
