Was wondering if anyone can help.

I am getting a new cooker this friday, it is 32A rated.

I just looked at the breaker's to make sure everything was ok. And in there was.

B32 - MCB32G x 3

B6 - MCB6G x 2

And the main Switch is

RC 80/30 G

Would i correct in saying the main switch is 80A rated and if so, is this enough for the rest of the breakers to handle, as it does say on the box the stated current on the main switch must not be exceded.

Fuses are all Ashley & Rock

Thanks
 
Not sure on the markings of the main switch, is the current rating not marked on it? If it is an RCD I suppose it may be referring to 80A rating and 30mA trip, can you upload a piccy?
Even if it is rated at 80A you don't use everything at once hence you can apply what is called diversity. As long as the load including diversity doesn't exceed the rating of the switch you're home dry!
