Just got possesion of new Zanussi built in oven and ceramic hob. Reading the instructions the hob (at max) is 5.8kw !!!(oven 2.1kw).
Now the 6mm2 cable will take it but should I fit a 32amp mcb instead of the 20amp that I've always used before ?? (I know the 5.8 is max draw but don't want to bugger up next Xmas dinner, I didn't realise separate hobs could draw so much, it's got more power than the old shower I'm going to remove )
