Hi hope everyone had a great christmas, i am installing a belling b160 mf cooker its a electric cooker and gas hob, its rated 2.5kw. The manual says it needs fusing at 13 amp, this is where im stuck. I am running a 6mm cable from the board with a 32 amp breaker then where do i go to a cooker connection unit and on the out going connect a spur, please help. thank you for taking the time to read this.
 
Ah, ok.
I thought he meant apply diversity to the cooker design current and choose a MCB and cable size from that!
Yes, that is part of the system isn't it? Diversity should be applied for both individual circuits and the overall supply. Otherwise we'd have a lot of 3x6+1x16+2x32+2x50 ie around 200A (three phase needed) systems around ;)

I meant apply diversity to the Ib then apply diversity to spec the In and CCC.
Example: Cooker with Ib of 60A apply 75% diversity would make the In and CCC 45A.
