I currently have a Diplomat Oven which is 4.8kw (totaling up all the three elements, light and fan it comes to 4866W) and is wired into an MK Cooker cable outlet plate and then switched by an 45 Amp DP Switch and back to the consumer unit with a Wylex Plug-in MCB's rated at 30amps. It's on a radial circuit with nothing else connected too it.
My Questions are:
I want to wire in a Neff Hob rated at 8400w (has five rings) can I wire it into the MK Cooker cable outlet plate along with the oven? both the hob and the oven are less then 2 metre's from the MK Cooker cable outlet plate and 45amp DP switch.
Whilst the cabling from the consumer unit to the cooker (via the cooker out let plate and 45Amp DP switch) seems suitable (pretty thick but i need to sure it's up to the job) i can't actually see what thickness the cores are (yet). The only length of cable I can actually view current is from the cooker cable outlet plate to the oven and that has the details "DRAKA U.K BS8004 (could be BS6004 hard to make out if it's an 8 or 6) and BASEC
If I can wire it I assume that i will need to replace the MCD rated
currently rated at 30amps with something more suitable.
Thanking those in the know for there much valued constructive feedback.
