hi there,
just moved into a new house that has a 4 way cu with rcd protection, problem is i need to install a cooker circuit as the old one is fed seperately via a 40amp rewireable outside of the cu. I dont want to change the existing board as it is sufficient and is to 16th edition, i just want to add a cooker circuit, but I have no spare ways. i dont know the rating of the cooker as it was second hand, but it has a 10mm cable attached from the previous owner. my questions are, can i feed the cooker unit seperately via a small 2 way cu next to the board or cooker? would this need rcd proection, and what rating breaker would be best to use to feed the small board?
the current board is rcd protected and feeds 2x ring main 32A breaker and 2 x lighting circuits 6 A. can I remove one of these and put it one the smaller 2 way cu, therfore freeing up the way for the feed to the smaller cu?
thanks for any advice
