Oven switch/isolator on CU?

[JohnW2]

Maybe the hob will be on a 'gas circuit' - electric hobs don't seem to be all that popular/fashionable these days

ceiling mounted pull cord switch with mechanical off indication, as used for electric showers?

Not interested in fashion.

Yes, I'm planning an induction hob too. Though that might be separate to the oven. But not far away.

Can a double oven and an induction hob run off a single CCU?

I won't be doing the wiring myself. This is to help my planning of what goes where.

Ask the person who will have to satisfy himself that it complies with the regulations to advise where he thinks things should go.

Going to extremes

A contactor to control the supply to the oven. The switch to control the contactor is then a single pole low current device. Smaller and much easier to cable.

Though maybe the regulations will not accept a contactor as providing the necessary assured isolation.

The eco warriors might no like that. For safety reasons, it would presumably have to be using 'normally open' contactor contacts - and they might see having the contactor coil drawing current almost always would be akin to always leaving one's TV on 'standby'

said eco-warriors would turn the oven off at the wall switch when they're done anyway...

They wouldnt want the clock on the oven wasting carbons.

Good point - even if the clock had a battery back-up, they'd probably want to preserve that!
