Can anyone help, I have an existing 6mm, 30 amp cooker circuit powering a stand alone cooker. The new hob and cooker require a 30 amp supply each, any ideas how I can supply both from the existing supply to save running another cable.

I'm afraid there is no way around this other than to ask a part p registered electrician to run a new cable in for you.Connecting both appliances to your existing supply, if both current ratings are correct, will not enable you to use the appliances to their full potential at times of major cooking (eg sunday roasts,xmas dinner) and will cause the overcurrent protection to operate (fuse/mcb)

Thanks, I didn't think there was an easy answer, Kw to high. I appriciate your help, we are new to electricity up here and the wife and kids are now producing over 10kw's per day on their bikes fitted with the latest dynamos. I came up with a solution to the problem, change the hob to gas. Thanks.
