Now as it says it needs a 30A electrical supply, 6mm or 10mm is the right size of cable; but that will all depend on the distance between your CU and where your cooker is going to be!!

If you don't already have a suitable cooker circuit, installing one is notifiable: see http://www.diynot.com/wiki/electrics:part-p

You'll find a good guide to selecting a suitable cable for a 32A circuit here: http://www.kevinboone.com/cableselection_web.html

thanks folks, the cooker is about 2m away from the main mcb board, does it need to be fused?

 

[ban-all-sheds]

Of course it needs to be protected by a fuse or an MCB!

Do you know anything about electrical installation work?

Read the post above then, its run straight from the mcb, so will it need a fuse? as you say i need a fuse or mcb

ps less of the sarcasm and try reading the post correctly do you know to read & Understand sentences?

This is the first time that you've said that you actually do already have a cooker circuit - up until now all you've done is to ask what size cable you need and tell us how far it is to the CU.

Have you told us what size cable you already have? No.

Have you told us what rating the MCB is? No.

Have you looked at the information I gave you to check if the size, MCB rating and load of your appliance all match? Clearly not.


I do know how to read and understand sentences, and perhaps when you are able to understand how to write ones which provide useful and accurate information you might get some useful and accurate help.
