i need to wire in an induction hob which is 6.5kw and the cable already chased in is 4mm and would be a real pain to replace for a bigger. I just wanted to know if it would be alright or play it safe with a 6mm?
 
Well Ref B gives you 28A max on 4mm t&e and the appliance is unlikely to draw all its 6500W at the same time, so 4mm should be fine unless a more onerous installation method has been used.
