Hi, I'm looking to get a new cooker (4.4kw) and induction hob (7.2kw) installed. I have been advised I'll need 2 feeds, one for each. I'm happy if this is correct, however I'd like to double check this first as I've had conflicting advice. The appliances will be on a 32a RCD fuse. My calculations were:
(4400+7200)/240 =48.33A.
30% of 38.33=11.5
11.5+10=21.5A, plus 5A for socket on isolator switch. My total is therefore 26.5A.
I have also calculated them separately, getting 28.5A.
I'm not an electrician and I may have made a mistake in my calculations. I'm just after a little bit of clarity and to know which advise I've had is good.
Thanks in advance.
Phil
