I am installing a double oven (20 amps) and a separate hob (32 amps) I want to run a 6mm twin and earth from my consumer unit with a 45amp MCB to a junction box, then run a cable (in 6mm) from the junction box one way to a cooker outlet for the oven and another cable (in 6mm) to another cooker outlet for the hob. Both cooker outlets will have 13 amp sockets.

Would this be OK?

If not would it be OK in 10mm? Or should I just run 2 separate 6mm cables from the fuse board? (I have 2 spare slots left).

I also want to spur of the oven outlet to a 13amp socket to run the dishwasher.

Please advise.

You need an electrician.......

Many things wrong with this plan:
1. 45amp MCB is too big for 6mm cable.
2. Why do you think you need 45amps? Did you ever hear about diversity?
3. what sort of junction box will handle 3 x 6mm conductors??
4, both appliances will NOT have 13amp sockets. You have already stated they are rated as 20 and 32amps!!!!!!


Would this be OK?
NO!!!

NO!! you would need to take a spur from the ring final, not the COOKER circuit.,

The work you describe is notifiable. You need an electrician.......
