Oven and Hob

[Mikey 66]

I have a electric hob that is connected to the main cooker supply, am planning on getting a new cooker also electric, can i wire the cooker to the same connection as the hob or will i need some sort of dual way connector. Thanks in advance

Need a bit more information

1) What rating (kW) is your hob?
2) What rating (kW) is the oven?
3) What size breaker is in the fuse board?
4) Does the new oven come with a plug?

Does the new cooker comprise an oven and a hob? Does that mean you will in effect have two hobs connected?

That's what a cooker is.

If it does not have a hob it is not a cooker - it is an oven.

As previous posts have requested.
More detail is required regarding the total output of the appliances and the circuit details, especially the existing cable size of the cooker circuit.
You would normally expect a dedicated cooker circuit to be installed in 6mmsq twin and earth cable and have a protective device of either 30A or 32A rating.
I would expect an electric hob to require about 20A, this would then only leave 12A for a cooker (a cooker being a combination of hob,grill,oven), this type of appliance would normally require a 30A-32A protective device as per manufacturers instructions.
So it would be helpful to us if you could confirm the total output of each appliance and existing circuit details.

Yes, I know that, and you know that...

A slow cooker does not have a hob, hot plate, oven or any of the traditional items found with a conventional stand alone cooker. We can call anything which cooks a cooker be it a hob, hot plate, oven or even as shown below. So some description is really required.

This also have no hot plate or hob I am sure there is an oven out of sight but clearly is a cooker.

Ok the hob is 6.2 kw, the cable is 6mm,the new appliance is a oven and grill to be hardwired the oven is 0.79kw and the grill 0.99kw , as for the breaker size in the fuse box they all say 230/400v

2) What rating (kW) is the oven?

...the oven is 0.79kw and the grill 0.99kw...

Are you sure? That sounds like a pretty small oven/grill. Most would be nearer to 3kW total.

...as for the breaker size in the fuse box they all say 230/400v

It's the current rating of the breaker on the cooker circuit we need to know about - it will probably say something like "B32".

Kind Regards, John

Those will be the kWh values.

 

[Mikey 66]

The oven has no plug, as above the oven is 0.79kw, the grill 0.99kw...

 

[ban-all-sheds]

as above the oven is 0.79kw, the grill 0.99kw...

As above, they aren't. They can't be. Or if they really are then don't expect the appliance to be any use.

Those have to be the figures for how much energy they use to perform a standard task, like reheat an authentic deep-pan stuffed crust ham and pineapple pizza, or burn a slice of bread.

They also say B6, B16, B32, B40.....
