35a cooker circuit

nicsin02 · Apr 25, 2014

Hi guys, I previously wired a property and the cooker circuit consisted of a 6mm fed from d/b to cooker control unit then a 6mm down to a single socket, all protected by a 32a mcb... The problem is they've now got a ceramic hob which on maximum runs at 27a and along with my single oven 8a that bring me to a total of 35a, would I need to run a seperate 6mm for the ceramic job or will the 32a be ok as I really doubt both will ever run 100%? Cheers guys

Diversity???
I don't have the curves handy but even at 35A a 32A MCB would take a substantial time to disconnect.

Jesus, here we go again..... Why don't you look up similar threads that deal with cooker installations and how to calculate for cooker diversity etc....

I've never really understood the people that have taken a vacation from here, but I truly believe that if I took a vacation from here myself, I wouldn't miss much.its the same old week in week out.

its bad enough them asking the same thing week in week out that a simple search would provide the answer for, but what makes it worse is when they say 'first post, so go easy', or they ask something then we ask for more details and they never give them, or even worse when they get an answer and don't say thanks or follow it up at all.
loads of things that annoy me on here at the moment.
