Agreed.
Opinions obviously vary. As I wrote above, if one does wish to have emergency switches, my personal view is that they are probably best located 'a respectable distance' from the appliance that could conceivably pose an 'emergency' (but still, of course, "obvious and readily accessible" - certainly not behind the corn flakes and baked beans in a cupboard!).
Either way is fine. As long as I have left space to get the cables to the hob, oven, and sockets I can discuss isolators and number of supply cables with my electrician once they are appointed.
Indeed it is - as also is the third option of having no 'local' isolators or emergency switches at all. As I said, opinions vary, so it's a matter of peresonal choice - whether to have such switches/isolators and, if so, where to locate them.
Indeed.
Long way and a powerful American jobby, i can't remember all the details as it was a couple of years ago. The Original hob was going to be Gas too and the customer changed their mind (lots of times!!).
Why?
Ref Method C, 16mm² would be OK for a 59.8kW hob.
Even with Method 103# it could accommodate a 27.2kW one.
Was the hob an awfully long way from the CU?
