Cheers.... Its just confusing about the cable as that is what the label on reel & shelf says... still, thanks

Yea makes sense that John - was also thinking about resistance of wires & that there will be some losses somewhere. I have already purchased a 35A cable & it appears that circuit breaker fuse is rated @ 32A.. Will it make a difference if size of cable is higher than req?

Thanks John.. will have to read on that.

Included a picture of cable... It is a grey one.. earth wire is uninsulated

It is stranded so I'd say flex..... & that's exactly what the label on shelf & reel said

I bought the twin & earth cable myself from wilko. Cooker did not come with one. Cable specs was a 6mm 35amp. Yea realised later this circuit is not protected by the RCD as in pics. Did not carry out tests you mentioned, I do not have equip. Just switched off each circuit breaker one by one...

RCD will not offer overcurrent protection, need to know the size of the breaker protecting the cooker circuit. I've uploaded some further pictures re circuit breaker. It would appear the one marked cooker protects this circuit as I tested all the breakers individually just to be sure...

Thanks again... Yes it is a switch as there is no fuse on it. Can confirm wiring in wall is 6mm & stranded. Fitted cable to cooker & connected to outlet plate. Just tested & all seem to be working ok.. However, I am just worried about the FCU bit on instruction manual. Can't find any above 13 A...

Thanks... instructions advise appliance should be connected to a double pole switched Fuse Connection Unit (FCU) with a minimum rating of 32 Amps. It does not provide information about cable size but from my calculations, I will assume a 6mm 35 amp would do ok. Regarding circuit breaker in fuse...

Hello.. Its just a quick one about an e cooker installation. We already have existing wiring that used to run a kiln. There is a switch for this circuit (I believe its a FCU although I cannot see a fuse housing from the outside). A flex then runs from this switch to power a socket where the kiln...
