I wonder if you can offer some advice. I know I have to have a Part B eng check over the install, and have found one to test, and sign off when I am done, so thats all fab.
I am installing a Rangemaster Induction Cooker, this thing is a beast. They rate the total max power to be 15.8kW.
Now I have two consumer units at the moment. One RCD Protected with an 80A 30mA breaker, this covers only the house lights, boiler, and a few other low power items, including the garden supply.
The 2nd consumer unit has 100A double isolator, and has the house ring mains on, 4 individual rings.
Now I do not have anything high power, like an electric shower. So this cooker is going to be the beast. I was thinking of adding it to the consumer unit with the RCD.
Now looking at calcs, this is 60A + without taking into account diversity.
Am I correct in thinking I should use 10mm cable, and a 50A MCB?
I notice the cooker switch is rated at 45A.
The run from the consumer unit to the oven is 4 meters.
Any help would be great.
Oh the tales to each consumer units are 25mm.
