Installing seperate oven and hob. I have 6mm2 cable from consumer unit to the cooker control unit, then will run 6mm2 cable from control unit to connector box. The mcb in the consumer unit is a Hager, MT140, B40 ( is that 40amp?). My query is as follows.
The installation guide for the double cooker says to use 4mm2 pvc cable. The oven is rated at 4.8Kw.
The installation guide for the electric hob says to use 2.5mm2 cable. The hob is rated at 6.0Kw.
So, can I substitute 6mm2 cable for the oven, and can I run both these cables from the same connector box?
Thanks
Terry
