hi i would just like to know about this... have a hob which requires a cable of 4mm to hardwire to cooker switch. the fuse at board is 30amp and the shut off near the cooker is a 45amp. as i cannot find a 30amp switch. my question is, i have no idea what amp or size the original cable is although it has its own circuit, which comes from the main fuse box, is it ok to use a different size wire ie 4mm and yet the original house wiring is, say 6mm. my real question is can i use 4mm for the hob as i have no idea what cable is used coming from the main switchboard. does it matter if i use 4mm wire as suggested in the manual? hope you can understand my question, thanks for any help, chris
