I have a new Bosch Oven and Induction Hob to be connected up to my existing wiring.
The oven is rated at 3.65KW and the Hob at 7200w.
Behind the oven on the wall I have a cooker outlet which is wired to a 45A cooker isolator switch on 6mm Twin and Earth back to the consumer unit, where it is terminated onto a 32A breaker.
My maths might be very rusty here, but 3650W / 240V = 15.2Amp and 7200W / 240V = 30Amp, giving a total of 45.2 Amps.
I understand 6mm cable to be rated at 47Amps, so getting to my question, can I safely connect both the Oven and Hob to the Cooker outlet and survive the christmas day dinner?
The Hob is provided with a flex already fitted, so I assume it is rated OK, however the oven is not supplied and needs to be wired, will 2.5mm heat resistant flex be OK to use for this, as the Bosch instructions specifies using cable that is H05 W-F or higher, which I cannot find and CEF have never heard of?
And thirdly, the instructions for the oven specify that the cooker outlet behind the oven needs to be specifically located on the wall behind the oven no higher than 11.5cm and no further left that 32cm, is this essential as this is not where it is currently located?
Sorry for the long post, but hopefully I have provided all the information required.
Thanks
Paul
