    Correct application of diversity, separate hob/oven on single feed.

    Hi,he What is the correct application of diversity, when a separate hob and oven share a single feed. As far as I see it, electrically they are the same as a free standing cooker - or does a cooker have a limiting mechanism to prevent all circuits from working at the same time. Hob is 6.7kw...

    Diversity / allowance for induction hobs

    I'm looking at an architects drawing that's asking for 2 x 45A's, one for an oven and one for an induction hob. What do we reckon I should allow for the induction hob? It'll end up on it's own breaker anyway as it'll probably need a C or D type, but I'm just wondering what to allow for it as...

    Kitchen circuits diversity - load splitting

    What design loading should be assumed for a kitchen. Washers/Dryers are easier to consider, but someone may decide to boil the kettle, whilst making toast, and putting on a combination oven/microwave at the same time, so should a lower diversity be applied to kitchen circuit than standard.
