Hi Everyone,
I am installing a new Kitchen and have replaced a freestanding cooker with a seperate Double Oven and Induction Hob
Currently there is a single 6mm cable connected to a 32a breaker then running from the Consumer Unit to the cooker switch.
My querey is how to connect up the seperate oven and hob....ratings are as follows;
Oven max 5.2kw
Hob Max 7.2 kw
Can I run the Hob using the same 32a breaker, 6mm cable and new fused connection unit , and then spur from that one to a second fused connection unit for the oven . If so what amperage should the new fcu's that feed both the oven and hob
I understand this may be allowed if the two appliences are no more than 2m from the switch. In my case both appliences are about 3m from the consumer unit and are on top of eachover about 0.5m from the switch.
The consumer unit does have a spare space where another 32a breaker could be inserted to run a seperate 6mm cable to run them indipendently but it does already have 3x 32a, 1x 16a and 2x 6a with a 80a rccb. Would you consider that enough already??
Anny advice greatly appreciated
