Oven separate hob

[Colin Rowe]

I have an existing hard wire for free standing cooker, has its own circuit to consumer unit, 10mm cable,, that will now be used for the electric hob,, can I spur off that to service my oven 16amp oven that's going in a different part of the kitchen, the cable is going up between ceiling and floorboards, and along rafters for about 1mtr, using 6mm twin & earth, maintenance free junction box, is this ok,

You could but what maintenance free junction box will you use for 2 x 10mms and 1x 6mm?

Could you not fit a duel outlet plate and wire from that somehow?

I was going to use one of them wagobox 32amp connectors,

Well if it fits into the standard cooker calc by load and you are sure that the connectors will fit and carry the max current (depending on hob power rating which you haven`t mentioned yet) the it will do.
Using the dual outlet plate that Pete has mentioned (provid it remains accessible) might be an easier option though.

You will need an wagoXL box and I don't think any wagos go upto 10mm....could be wrong.

Hob burner range 1.4 to 3kw 32 amp

Seriously don’t like them. Dual outlet plate is far better imho

What is the mcb rating?

Are you saying connect it via dual outlet plate, and run the wire across to the oven, which would mean running cable between upper flooring, and along and down to oven, length of about 5mtrs
