I have a 6kW induction hob connected to a cooker outlet in my kitchen. The cooker outlet is fed by a 32A MCB via a cooker isolator. The circuit is protected by a RCD.
I also have a 2.3kW oven which I would like to connect to the cooker outlet.
If I replace the cooker outlet with a dual outlet can I just directly connect the oven to this or will it need to be fused down?
I have checked the manual for the oven and it does not state that the oven must be protected by a fuse, only that it must have a dual pole isolator with at least a 3mm gap (this will be provided by the existing isolator).
On a second note, there is no mains cable supplied with the oven but the manual states a replacement cable (despite there not being one already) should be 3 x 1.5mm. If I can connect directly to the output without down fusing should I use 3 x 4mm cable due to the 32A MCB?
Thanks in anticipation of your help.
