Hi,
I am adding another cooker circuit so that I can fit an 6kW electric hob (I currently have a gas hob, and electric oven on a 16amp MCB)
I have run 6mm cable to a 45 amp Cooker switch & connection unit, and bought a Hager B32 MCB to fit in the existing Hager CU.
It appears that I have a spare 'way' on the non-RCD side of the CU (a blanking plate) my question is, will there be a definately be a spare connection on the busbar at this point? I don't want to remove the cover until I have the incoming supply disconnected by my supplier. I read somewhere that unused busbar 'prongs' are removed when the CU is first installed, is that likely?
Does anyone know who to contact in the North West to get my supply disconnected while I do this work? Scottish power referred me to United Utilities, then United Utilities told me to speak to Scottish Power!
Thanks for any help.
