hi i got a hob rated at 6600W. A microwave rated at 3600W and a single oven rated at 3600W

Now the micro and the oven manufacturer say that they must not
be fused at 13A or put on a plug.
I think to do with the cleaning cycle which runs at pretty much
full power for 2 hours. Therefore no diversity allowed

Can i run them on 2.5mm radials with 16A mcb to their own cooker switch?

The hob i assume is allowed diversity which i have worked out to be roughly 16 A too.
Now do i put that on 16A mcb or do i disregard the diversity and
assume full load which is about 28A?

That and they will be pulling about 15A each :wink:

20A DP switches might be more desirable. Don't know enough about design to say about cable size.

Better to allow for full load imho.
 
Thanks spark
Yea pretty much what i thought.

The run from the CU is barely 6 ft and in trunkin or similar so
i would imagine 2.5mm will suffice.

And 20A DP switches would be better i agree for the ovens.

I will use a 45 A DP cooker switch for the hob
