As part of a kitchen refurb to make appliances more convenient for my disabled wife, I am having two cookers fitted side by side at a relatively low level. Their maximum ratings are 3.6kW & 3.45kW respectively. My questions are these:
1) can I supply them both from a single cooker switch?
2) in calculating diversity, do I apply it to each unit separately, or to the combined 7.05kW?
3) I propose to specify a supply cable of 6mm protected by a 32A or 40A mcb.
4) In order to accomodate this, I belive I will need a 50A rated switch, with terminals big enough to accept this cable size. The distance to the Consumer Unit is about 15 meters,laid over the insulation in the loft.
I would welcome any comments or observations on this proposal.
