cooker connection using dual connection plate, fusing considerations.

[jase31]

Scolmore do a 45A dual connection plate. (http://www.scolmore.com/documents/switchtoclick.pdf) that has two output connectors.

The example photo shows thicker cable as the input, and two thinner cables on the outputs. Should the mcb be rated to protect the smaller cable, or can an over/hob be connected without having to fuse down.

What would be the most appropriate way to wire a hob and oven using this connection plate.

Why would you need to protect the 13A flex?

if you down sizing there needs to be a fuse connection unit

The OP is nonsense.
Where has this 13A flex appeared from?
What's the 13A flex doing?
What has this 13A flex got to do with the picture in the link provided?

Whats spin means i think is why will ever be overloaded? During a fault, of course but if your circuit complies then no long enoungh to damage the cable/flex.

Yes as Amp David says, there are times when overcurrent protection can be ommited.

t... if what i think hes saying is that he has 13A pug top on his cooker and wants to run it too cooker outplate.. so he really needs to change the protective device..
