OK, I'm trying to get my head round replacing a free-standing cooker with a built in oven and hob, plus add a cooker hood.
The old cooker was marked as "max 7.5kW, oven 2kW" fed from a cooker switch combined with 13A socket, on a 30A circuit breaker.
The new hob is 6.5kW, oven is 2.2kW.
There is a low level single socket for a fridge on this wall plus a double socket above the worktop.
My plan is to:
Run a spur from the double socket for the cooker hood (cable run through conduit vertically then horizontally more than 150mm from the wall an ceiling to a single socket behind the hood "chimney").
Replace the single socket with a double and connect the oven to this with 2.5mm butyl cable (is this necessary?)
Connect the hob to the existing cooker outlet with 6mm cable (can I still keep the 13A cooker socket on a 30A cb?)
Alternatively - can I use a double cooker outlet and connect one outlet to the hob and the other to a single socket and plug the oven into that. (guess I should replace the cooker control switch with a single 45A dp switch?)
Am I thinking along the right lines and also is this notifiable in Scotland with current regs?
thanks in advance
