Having recently run a length of 10mm^2 cable from a 45amp MCB to the cooker control unit, and from there to a cable outlet plate.
The cable outlet plate will supply the hob.
I planned on running a further length of 10mm^2 cable from this to an unswitched FCU for the oven supply. But I cannot fit the two 10mm^2 cores into the terminals of the outlet plate.
Is it okay to reduce the CSA of the cables for the short distance, to perhaps 2.5mm^2 or 4mm^2? (less than 0.25m)
