My wife wishes to install a Cannon Kendal Electric cooker in place of our old Gas cooker. I have an electric cooker switch connected to a cooker connection plate ready for attaching the cooker.
The fuseway is 30A and the wire from the switch to the connection plate is 6mm 45A cooker cable. The cooker is rated at 10.4KW and according to the General Rules on this forum which I have printed out the 30A fuse is okay for up to 7.2KW appliances, my question is will the wiring (6.mm) and setup (Assuming I change the 30A fuse for a 45A one) be okay for 10.4KW?
If the cable needs to be heavier what rating should it be? The cable from the fuse box to the switch seems heavier than the 6mm from the switch to the connection plate.
Any advice appreciated.
