Wiring for Double oven and Electric Hob

manashlm · 16 Sep 2003

I currently have a 30 amp supply to my kitchen for an electric cooker. I am upgrading the kitchen and will be fitting a double oven and electric induction/ceramic hob. The manufacturers blurb quotes that these units have connected loads of 6.1kW and 6.5kW respectively.

Do I have to run a 30 amp supply to each unit or can they both come from the same supply

If I have to run a new supply to the hob, presumable I will need 6mm2 cable

Your thoughts and assistance gratefully received.

You will need a seperate supply, ....the 6.5KW appliance alone would potentially draw just under 30Amps and that's not far off the limit for 6mm cable (32A I think!)
