Hi,
Firstly this will be notifyable under part P - if possible at all.
I have a cooker point in the kitchen fed via standard 6mmsq cable with a socket at the cooker switch point and then more 6mmsq cable to the cooker connection point.
I want to remove the cooker and use this 6mmsq cable from the consumer unit to serve 3 double socket outlets. The cooker will be fed with a new 6mmsq feed from the consumer unit on the other side of the kitchen. The layout of the doors, a concrete floor, etc mean it is hard to run a new ring main to the sockets I want, or take them as spurs.
So am I correct in thinking I can take the 6mmsq cable to the first outlet, then 4mmsq to the next one and on to the next one again as a radial circuit? I would fit a 32A MCB as the loads will be high (dishwasher, kettle, toaster, etc) and the 4mmsq cable is rated for it.
If this is ok, my next problem will be the physical connections as I think it will be fun trying to get a 6mmsq cable into an outlet, let alone 6mmsq and 4mmsq in the same one!
Thanks in advance for any thoughts you may have.
