Cabe size for Oven + Microwave help please!!

[energizedelec]

Right im putting in a new microwave oven and another oven. There is a 6mm2 cable installed for the old oven, could i run both off of this supply??

The main oven is 3.7 Kw and the Microwave combination is 3.6 Kw.

I guess the cable run is around 20mtr hard to tell as its under the floor boards but ill say 20mtr to be safe.

There is a fuse spur available that is connected to the ring for the kitchen. Perhaps i could run the 3.6kw microwave off of this???

both can be run off the 6mm. it's only 7.3kW. after diversity, well under the capacity of 6mm. ( I assume a 32A MCB)

Yeh 32A MCB.

Out of curiosity what is the max for a 6mm cable??

And could the 3.6kw be supplyed form the ring??

OSG say anything upto 15kw (before diversity) between two items on 6mm 32a is ok

NO you cant because a ring should only supply items upto 2kw
