Circuit breakers

[jstrong]

I have a range of circuit breakers in my MK consumer unit which include B40, B32 B16 & B6.

Would I be right in thinking that the B40 would be the correct breaker for 10mm cable supplying a cooker or Induction hob?

Would the B32 be correct for supplying a kitchen ring or other ring main?

Would the B16 be for lighting a lighting radial?

What about the B6?

Any help appreciated.

Is this consumer unit actually installed and you are trying to identify circuits ?

No - think socket radial or immersion heater

What about the B6?

Do you think that was wise?
