Any help with the following situation would be greatly appreciated. I'll be as brief as I can:
I'm having a new kitchen installed, including two new ovens. These are specified as:
Oven1: 3.68KW "total connected load". Conventional oven
Oven2: 3.60KW"total connected load". Combination uwave and oven
Prior to planning this, I had an electrician renew the consumer unit and provide a single cooker MCB slot, ready and waiting for the new cable runs from thre consumer unit to the kitchen ovens. This is a 50A MCB.
The kitchen fitter has surveyed the job and is now maintaining the following. I'd appreciate your opinions on the following statements:
1. I cannot supply two ovens in the kitchen from a single cable from the consumer unit - whether it is 6mm2 or 10mm2 cable. I will need two breakers at the CU and two cables running to the kitchen. One for each oven.
2. Run a 6mm2 cable from the CU for the conventional oven and run a separate 2.5mm2 cable from the CU to the uwave combination oven.
3. As I cannot supply both appliances from a single cable, however big, I will need to have the 50A breaker swapped for a smaller rating and of course, have an extra one fitted too.
Can any of this possibly be right?
Thanks in anticipation.
