BAUMATIC ELECTRIC OVEN AND HOB INSTALL

[SKILL]

Hi there.

I have brought a baumatic double oven (16amp) and a baumatic electric hob (30amp) and have wired the hob to the cooker socket outlet connection on wall which goes back the the consumer unit which has a 40amp breaker. The hob works but I was told I need to run another cable from a 20amp breaker in the cu to the oven..please tell me I dont because the kitchen has just been done and its hard to get the cable to the cu without it looking pants in white plastic trunking.
I tried at first wiring the cooker and hob into the terminal block from the cooker socket outlet but when I turned on the power it kept tripping!..help me experts.

Was it the MCB or RCD that was tripping? If it was the MCB then what did you expect? 30 + 16 = more than 40 If it was the RCD you did something wrong.

What size cable is run from the CU to the cooker point? How long is the run? Does it run through insulation/areas with high ambient temps? Is it buried in plaster/run in conduit?

If you apply diversity you'll get 29Amps.
Best you get a spark in to advise you though. The last thing you want is the fuse to blow on Xmas morning when everything is going full blast.
