    Which Switch do I need for a 7.2kW Rated Induction Hob?

    Hi, I was looking at the MK switches as we wanted them to match with the sockets. But they only have a 32A switch which matches, the 50A switch is quite large. Will the 32A switch be ok for this induction hob?

    Switching 6kW load with 7 day programmer

    I need to switch 2No 3kW heaters on using a 7 day heating programmer. Presumably I'll need a contactor to switch that load rather than the heating programmer (?). Can anyone recommend a suitable one? Many thanks if anyone can help, Peter
