Oven flex size

[howie]

Hi

Can anyone help me determine the size of the flex cable I need to install on a Siemens oven?

It's rated at 4.9kW and the manual states it needs to be wired using a type H05 VV-F or higher.

Thanks

Howie

Presume you mean to connect from existing ccu to the oven in which case 2.5mm http://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/Main_Index/Cable_Index/Flex_Butyl/index.html

the manual states it needs to be wired using a type H05 VV-F or higher.

So the manual just says "H05VV-F"? No size digits as well in the code?

thanks, the circuit is protected by a 32A MCB. Also on this circuit will be a hob and the socket outlet.

The main thing to consider here is the load, as even a B50 breaker will only need a 1mm cpc for fault protection under ADS.

Yes, but that will depend on the impedance of the circuit as well.
