I am all electric and have 2 units Hob and Oven
The Hob uses 6.4kw and the oven uses4.9kw
Both being maximums.
I have a double pole cooker switch with 2 x 6mm wires feeding (ring)the switch and 1 x 6mm cable coming out.
I also have a 2.5mm cable free on the 30 amp ring.
Any suggestions , can I put the 4.9 kw and the 2.5mm and the cooker on the 6mm.
Do I have to put a switch on the 2.5mm.
Or do I have to rip the 6mm wire out and replace with 10mm?
*************************************************************
The cooker circit is there- 1 cooker switch with 6mm cable which I have since found comes in (feed) and out across the room to the existing cooker( will be removed).
There is also a 2.5mm bit of cable coming out the wall which had a socket conneted under the units ( feeding the fridge which is now a cupboard)
I hope this helps.The double oven only pulls 4.9kw if top oven is on full and bottom is on full.
I understand I will use the 6mm to feed the hob.
Any simple suggestions saving me a rewire?
