Hi
I have recently bought a new house and the cooker circuit is run with 6mm cable. The cooker is a rated at 2.1kw for the oven and 1.8kw for the grill. The cooker circuit also spurs to a socket for the gas hob ignition. I'm told that nowadays 10mm cable is used for cooker circuits.
Can someone please confirm to me that the 6mm cable is OK? And if I replace the oven with a more powerful one, what Kw can I go up to?
