Existing circuit of 6mm t/e to 6.6kw 4 ring hob. Can x 2 single ovens of 2.1 kw each be added to this 6mm radial.
Total of 10.8 kw and 45A but 21A with diversity. Would this be considered ok
Theory sounds ok and unable to get 2nd cable in but not feeling happy with it.

Hi there
A customer has asked me to install a new freestanding cooker. I asked them what power it was. They said 0.79Kwh.
I thought they were confused and ask them to send a link. And yes, Curry’s now list power consumption in KWh.
Am I wrong in thinking they have misplaced the decimal and it...
As my customer didn't know what double oven they wanted I installed a 40A MCB and 6mm twin and earth. When I returned for the second fix they have installed two ovens. One is a single oven (3.65kw 16A) and the other is a microwave/grill/oven (3.45kw 16A). So what is the best way to connect both...
Hi, been asked to install 3x 36 kW 53A ovens and 9 kW 3 phase dishwasher in a cafe 100a 3 phase supply. I think the best way is to have 2 ovens on a change over switch so only 2 can run at once, but he wants all 3 but I think it will be to expensive to upgrade. What does everyone think
Thanks...
Hi
I have replaced a double oven with a single oven and a microwave/oven combi.
The double oven was on its own wire to the fuse box, 40amp circuit breaker with appropriate cable. Both the new ovens say they are 16amp. Can i use a junction box on the main wire to goto 2 separate switches for each...

Hi all,
I recently started training to become a domestic installer. I have some practical experience and some knowledge of part P. Also done a little testing but only continuity and insulation resistance.
A friend of mine is fitting a new kitchen and will be having two ovens side by side. He...

Hi all,
Who applies diversity to a built in oven (as opposed to a cooker)?
Some do and some say you must not.
An example would be a single built in oven, total load of 3.4kW; in theory it will draw nearly 15 Amps, however if one applies diversity (W/O a socket) it will draw just under 11.5...

Hi was looking for some input guys. I recently completed a restaurant a few months ago and today i got a phone call this morning about the 3 new pizza ovens they had put in not working correctly. They are pulling about 40amps each and are connected into 63a commando sockets. Each works fine when...
Hi there,
I'm installing two ovens, each with a total load rating of 3.5kW. (see details of oven here). The kitchen already has a 20A double pole switch and a 45A dual outlet plate. Is the switch sufficient because I've calculated that the current is likely to exceed 20A? However, I'm not sure...
Hi Guys. Got a kitchen jobs coming up and there is only a 6mm out to hob oven at the mo. New oven specified is 7.4kw and there is 2 single ovens at 3.4Kw each. Total Plate load is 14.2Kw. When I looked at job I thought I would run in another supply. But working it out with diversity all 3 will...
Hello,
I have a 6mm t&e protected radial circuit running from the CU to the kitchen, this was originally going to feed just a new Neff Oven, rated at 3.68KW total connected load ~ 16Amp. This was fine, but now it turns out that the new Microwave we’re getting is rated at 3.1KW total connected...

He asked if i wouldnt mind having a look while i was there doing an eicr...
