Hi, can somebody tell me if the following is safe to do....
I have a 4KW double oven and a 7.5KW Induction hob. I want to wire both appliances straight into the same 45AMP switch. For clarity 6mm2 cable runs from the 45AMP switch to the consumer unit where there is a 32A fuse.
Q1) Can I run a 4mm2 cable from the oven and a 6mm2 cable from the hob and connect them into the same 45AMP switch, assuming they will physically fit?
Q2) If the answer to Q1 is 'yes', then is the 32AMP fuse in the consumer unit ok for this demand?
Q3) If none of the above is safe then what can I do? Note: Replacing the 6mm2 cable from the consumer unit to the 45amp switch is not an option, in case that is suggested.
Many thanks for any replies....
