It's Reference Method 101 = Above a plasterboard ceiling covered by thermal insulation EXCEEDING 100mm. I ran, in that calculator (https://www.elandcables.com/cable-calculator), every installation method available and the thickest cable needed for 11m, multicore cable, 1 x 2 core cable...

10mm2 is the largest cable that will fit into a 45A DP cooker switch

12m long, all within insulation, 10mm2, B45 RCBO, 45A DP switch. Electric calculation (see JPEG) says 10mm2 for 45A is fine

Not 200kg more 40kg. Mineral wool over a large area

The 10mm2 cable goes behind the cooker and vertically down from the 45A DP socket so should be fine

To be clear there are no wall sockets in the coat cupboard, but there are 2.5mm2 x 4 cables going vertically upward. So clearly the backbox should not be directly in front of these vertical cables. I can put the backbox at a height of 0.45m to 1.2m (these are current regs for sockets). What...

Should the backbox be the same height as wall sockets?

Yep exactly just thought of that. Thanks! It's the labour (I would have to take down about 6 x plasterboard and pull about 200kg insulation out to then pull the 10mm2 cable through) - about a day's very dirty work - I hated it and would rather avoid. So a 1 gang back box (47mm) and a 1 gang...

Ok what about (same reply to EFLImpudence) as putting a 60A junction box 1.2m high up on the shared kitchen wall inside the coat cupboard? Poking into the cupboard so fully accessible. Then I can get 1m 10mm2 extra to go from the 60A junction box to 1.2m high up on the wall where the 45A DP...

What about putting a 60a junction box about 1.2m high poking out of the other side of the partition wall to the 45A kitchen switch? So fully visible. The other partition wall is inside a coat cupboard so the junction box would be fully accessible (i.e not under floorboard). Then I can get 1m...

Is there such a thing as a shrink sleeve that I can wrap around the 6mm2 cable (with damaged sheath) ?

Which part of the cupboard maximises access, front left, at back, or front right?

Have looked. There is no 10mm2 wago junction box. Can I put the 45A DP switch inside a cupboard?

Yes that's what I meant. So to the 45A DP switch then to then cooker outlet.

There is no 'maintenance free' 10mm2 junction box. Can I put the 45A DP switch inside a cupboard instead (this way the 10mm2 cable should reach without the need for a junction box)?

At the minute I use 12m of 6mm2 twin/earth cable (going through insulated joists) starting with a B32 RCBO going to a 45A DP switch which then goes to a 45A cooker outlet which is behind the existing gas hob/electric oven cooker. I'm looking to future proof for an all electric cooker (electric...

If I leave the 2.5mm2 x3 and 6mm2 x 1 where they are I would mark out on the floorboard above 'warning cable'. It's too much work to disconnect the cables and reroute as these cables go through partition walls, it would take weeks to reroute them I could add a thin 2-3mm metal plate and push...

I can't find wagos for 10mm2 cable. Also, the cables are very tight so I have to use in line wago junction boxes. Could I use this junction box for the 10mm2 cable: Could I use this junction box for the 10mm2 cable (60A)...

What about wago connectors 50mm below the floorboards with the associated junction boxes?

Maybe use wago connectors inside an enclosure. What enclosures should I use with wagos?
