Hi all.
My electric hob has broken so I am looking at replacing it.
My oven is below the hob and they are both operated by the same main switch.
Currently my oven is 1850kw
I have spoken to an electrician who says the hob shouldn't be operated from the same switch as it will go over the max kw.. I have had the hob hooked up this way since I have moved in (it was already here) and have never had an issue. He said i could possibly keep it like that if i find a hob under 5.5kw
Just looking for opinions really before I go out an buy a hob that I may not be able to use! I have put a photo of the wiring behind the oven, the hob wires go into the left and the oven goes into the right
