Fair enough - at least that's OK for a 1mm cable!Thanks. Yes, it does. I think it's 6A - it's a wylex MCB, and it says: B6 NHXB06
From what you now say, it sounds as if that 1mm² circuit was for a 'larder light', not for the induction hob itself. If it is intended as a lighting circuit, 1mm² is fine for that - do you still want/need this 'larder light'? As has been said, as for the extractor fan circuit, it is strictly non-compliant with the regulations to use 1mm² cable for anything other than lighting - maybe the electrician reckoned that an extractor fan counted as that, given that such fans are usually fed from lighting circuits! He was obviously confident enough to actually document it as being wired with 1mm² cable!Rather amazingly, I have four circuits in my kitchen (ignoring the downstairs lighting circuit). The ratings, and the cable sizes (taken from the installation certificate) are:
- 40A cooker (6mm)
- 32A kitchen ring (2.5mm)
- 6A circuit for a single pull-cord switch in the larder (this was supposed to be the "induction hob" circuit.) (1mm)
- 6A circuit for a tiny little extractor fan (1mm)
I can understand the dedicated circuit for the larder light (I asked for this, so I could put in an induction hob). I cannot for the life of me work out why there is a dedicated circuit for the extractor fan, but never mind.
