Hi Everyone,
I have been asked to install a cooker and hob built in one (total load 15kw ish), the customer has already 6mm installed from previous cooker so i changed the breaker to 32A b type (I hope this is okay?) and explained that it might trip if he is using the whole oven and all hobs which he is fine with. However we decided to test the breaker out so once installed we turned all hobs on and cooker but the breaker does not trip?? I was confused by this as I expected the breaker to trip, so I measured with my amp clamp and it was showing 47a going through and still not trip?? Can someone please explain or comment if you know why the breaker is not tripping as it's of big concern to me.
Thanks for reading.
