We are thinking of updating the kitchen and with Part P etc, and the shape of the kitchen we were going to simply replace old units for new and leave all electrical installations as is.
However, we would like a new cooker and currently have a cooker switch with single outlet adjacent run on 6mm cable from a 30A (don't scream too loudly) rewirable fuse.
The cooker SWMBO wants says it is nominal power of 13.1KW and requires 45 amp power supply which seems to force me into minimum 10mm cable. Even then this seems a bit thin based on the run being completely enclosed for most of it's length and worse bundled near the consumer unit.
Can you confirm or deny my worst fears and offer any sage advice
