    Cooker and Hob Installation

    I am currently renovating my kitchen and am considering swapping my standalone cooker for a hob/single oven combination. Would it be possible to use a dual appliance output plate on a 32A ring? The hob = 4.6Kw The oven = 3.65Kw or would they need to be on separate circuits? Thanks

    3phase breaker made of 3 single phase breakers

    Hi guys, Is there a difference between 3 single phase breakers next to each other (with a linking bar) and 1 3 phase breaker? Does the 3 phase breaker have anything special in it or is it just 3 single phase breakers stuck together with a bar in the switches? Cheers, Tim

    phases through separate openings

    Query Regarding 2 Systems On 1 Building

    We've been approached to install 2 small systems on a new build development - 2 flats contained within 1 building, but independent supplies.
