Alternative Method of Supplying a Re-Sited Single Oven?

[alba2]

I tried on another thread, to find a way to run cable to a re-sited pyrolitic oven.

The problem is that there is a large area of laminate and chipboard flooring that would have to be lifted to do this.

I have found what I am hopeful is an alternative solution to all this disruption and possible damage to the flooring, but need advice as to whether it is appropriate.

Electrolux state that the 3.5 kw oven requires a 16 amp fused supply.

The gas boiler, including pump and 2 valves has its own radial supply and 16 amp fuse in the C.U. It is a sealed/pressurised gas boiler system with a hot water tank.

Am I correct in assuming that the gas boiler could be supplied from a fused spur taken off the 13amp kitchen ring, and the accessable 16 amp radial supply re-directed to the oven?

Alternatively, could the spur for the combi boiler be taken off the supply to the immersion tank, which is also fused at 16 amps.? The electric immersion is back up heating to the gas system, it has never been used, but I expect we need to keep this back up system/

You could do either of these. The first option is better IMO.

Many thanks for taking the time to reply.

You can get panel-mount MCBs which look an awful lot like rocker switches with a very reasonable design/appearance.

e.g.

Just think how much easier all kinds of circuit provision would be if the manufacturers who made grid systems offered MCB modules....

didnt think you could run new feeds of a dedicated supplys like the immersion heater? isnt 16amps at its max capacity?

just becasue it isnt used at the moment, doesn’t mean it might not be.
