i have 2 ovens going into a kitchen

single oven - 3.5kW
combi oven - 3.6kw

what cabling would be put in place for these, with them coming out at 15.2A and 15.65A does that mean they can be run on a T + E 2.5mm sq., just thought i have never seen 2.5mm sq. cable for cookers.
would it be best practice to have each of these ovens on there own circuit rated at 16A at the consumer unit.
Do you get cooker switches rated at only 16A?

i also have a warming plate - 0.81kW, would this be better just fed from the mains ring circuit (kitchen/utility ring circuit)?


thanks

I think the best way for this would be two seperate feeds both with 16A protection on 2.5mm T&E, you cant really put a seperate circuit in for both as it would have to be a ring on 32A and at 15A per unit there would be no way of protecting the individual ovens as fuse spurs only go up to 13A, as for the hot plate at only 800w you could incorporate a single fused spur or Socket with Appropriate fuse onto the lower loaded radial circuit or as you suggested plug it in the the local ring.
