Separate hob, double oven-terminal outlet required?

Guest52 · 18 Jul 2005

Current freestanding electric cooker (11.3kW) is connected to a terminal outlet before going to the CCU. I am replacing this with a separate double oven (4kW) and ceramic hob (6.4kW). Existing system is cabled with 6mm T&E and 32a MCB.
Main question is do the new appliances need to be wired to the terminal unit or can they both go directly into the CCU without a terminal unit in the equation?
I have read other threads that suggest putting them both onto separate circuits but opinion seems to be divided on this.

In this case it is more a question of what is neat, and safe, and that depends on the mechanical layout.

Hob will be directly above the oven. The existing CCU which incorporates a 13amp socket and which I would like to still use is just to one side.

So, am I ok to wire them both into this CCU with 6mm cable?
