Hello, I hope someone might be able to help me. We recently removed our old standalone hob/oven and replaced it for a separate integrated oven and an induction hob fitted into the worktop.
We had the original 45a switch with plug socket, which is still in place, and I replaced the cooker connector unit with a dual connector unit behind the oven to accommodate the two appliances.
I have 6mm wire running from switch to connector unit and then to the oven. I am using the wire built into the hob connected to connector unit. (Black wire in photo)
The fuse being provided from MCP is 45amp. The oven is 2.2kw and the hob is 7.2kw.
When I use the hob alone, it works fine. When I use the oven alone, it works fine. Together though, it’s clear there is not enough power being provided and so neither applications can reach their desired temperature.
From what I have explained and also the pictures provided, I’m hoping that someone might be able to see what I’m doing wrong.
Ps, please don’t judge the paint stained switch too hard, it will be replaced with a chrome one soon!!
