I have a Neff single oven (2.8kW) and electric hob (7kW) to install (was to be a gas hob so no planning was done)
There is a cooker switch with 13A socket on the wall but no apparent further terminal box. The kitchen currently has a freestanding gas cooker with no electric connections. The switch is apparently connected to the consumer unit with a 30A fuse. (max load 63A currently full with 2 x 5A & 2x30 ccts (cooker and sockets))
The hob has a cable attached (which according to the manual is Y type with no user service). 2 cables 6x1.5mm2 plus earth
The oven has standard terminal connections.
I also need to install a 120W extractor fan.
question 1
Can I spur both the Hob and the cooker from the same terminal box?
Question 2
If so, could I do this without installing a terminal box?
question 3
What size cable should I use?
With the cable on the hob being approx 10mm2 and the total power being 9.8Kw, I reckon the hob would take the whole 30A cct and I would need another 13A cct for the oven.
Could the fan and hob be run from the cooker cct (changing out the switch for one without a 13 A socket) AND I run the oven from the 13A socket cct?
Or could you suggest other options?
I may just bite the bullet and install the gas hob I have instead.
Thanks
