2.5mm flex or 6mm t+e

[nathan-d1]

Changing to built in double fan oven. 45A cooker switch which is supplied with 6mm from 20A mcb . Double fan oven is rated at 4.1kw.

4100/230=17.82

Would the flex be ok as it can carry up to 25A and less than a metre be used.

What do you guys suggest?

Be fine if proper heat 90 d, so 6mm to isolator then 2.5 to Cooker all supplied from 20A mcb

Why do 'Us guys' need to suggest anything ? You demonstrate an Ohms law calc with a VD calc ? You sort it out you appear to have the knowledge !

If it's on a 20A breaker and can carry 25A then why are you asking?

Needed to prove to the other spark that what i explained to him was right lol im sure that he either misheard and thought that i said 1.5mm. Ill find out and see if he says anything tomorrow

Is that not quite low for a double oven? I thot they were about 6-7 kw. Suppose every manufacturer is different tho and what you've put seems fine IMO

Angry guy, just an unsure guy is the original poster.

A lot of built in ovens are only 2kw - 3kw kind of area and many even come with 13A plugs fitted on flex.

Do you mean a 2.5mm2 tri-rated flex which is also heat resistant, or a bit of 2.5mm2 ordinary household flex off the back of the van?

sounds OK to be ( taking manufacturers instructions into consideration,and then ignoring them, of course ).
