Hello again guys
Re. my post a few days ago about Whirlpool/Ikea and connecting a cooker and hob to 13 amp sockets...
Well I've binned that idea. I've settled on a Zanussi ZEL63 hob and ZBF360 oven. Their maximum power ratings are 6.27kW and 2.15kW respectively. Therefore the combined current load would be 36.6 amps.
The current cooker (standalone unit) is rated at 9.8/10.2kW and is connected via 6mm2 cabling to a 32amp RCD in the consumer unit. Although the maximum current would be 42.6 amps, I'm assuming the electrician has taken into account diversity and come out with a figure of (10A+30x32.6/100+5A) 25 amps.
SO (after all that) my question is can I replace the current cooker with the oven and hob and connect them to the same cooker control unit? (i.e. is the current installation safe!)
After reading other posts I assume that I would make the oven connection via a 13amp FSU from the CCU? (Using 6mm cable for all of the connections)
If the answer is no I think I'll just buy a microwave oven...
Thanks in advance.
