Wiring oven and Hob together

[sanjo]

Hi,

I'm currently installing a new built in electric oven (2.4kw) and separate hob (6.6kw)

I have run a radial from the CU in 6mm T&E to the cooker control unit and then to the terminal outlet box which in turn feeds the hob.

It it possible to connect a single socket from the terminal outlet box to feed the oven?

Would this have to wired in 6mm? and also and what spec. of socket would be required?

You need one of these .
Wire it in 6mm².

Thanks for your reply Luminaire,

So from the dual appliance outlet plate i can wire a 13amp socket in 6mm to plug the oven into?

You could, but this would serve no purpose. If you use one of those outlets, you just have a piece of 6mm cable from the outlet to the oven terminals.

If you want to plug the oven in, you need a dual backbox, a single unswitched socket and a single outlet plate.

Incoming cable - single socket - outlet plate (all in 6mm).

(that is a surface mount box, flush mount boxes are also available)

Hi re the link and advice above are the terminals of a single skt suitable for 2x 6mm and also the flc of the oven and the hob?

better off incoming cable - outlet - single skt or the double outlet plate with 6mm into single skt.

imho
