Diversity on cooking equipment

[littlespark]

Evening, all.

I've got a kitchen coming up that might lead to more work with a local joiner... first job with him and I want to appear on the ball.

Current set up is 32A MCB on RCD side of a split board, 6.0mm serving a regular cooker switch with only an electric oven coming off it. Hob is presently gas.

The kitchen plan asks for a built in eye level oven and separate microwave combi at the current switch position and an electric hob further round the worktop, so the 32A supply would have to be extended.

The ratings are:

Microwave - 1600W for grill, 900W for microwave. Don't know if these fiunctions would operate simultaneously.
Regular oven - 3650W
Hob - 7200W

Both ovens run off a standard 13A plug, but to have these on the rfc along with kettle, toaster, washing machine and whatever else may be a push.

My plan was to have one of the ovens on the rfc, the other sharing the cooker circuit with the hob. Possible uprating of the mcb to 40A

don't seem right my nan plugging the iron into a light socket, but she came to no harm, apart from a burn mark as she could not understand how it was hot when it hadn't been on the coal fire.

Yep I know, and if you read my #9 first paragraph, there’s no cause for concern. Just don’t seem right, for these appliances being plugged into the RFC.

By the way, when I was a lad, me Mum plugged her iron into the light with adapter, long after our Nan every did. Don’t think Nan had leccy.

so.... microwave off the bayonet plug adaptor and the hob off a 15A socket?....
Sounds perfect

Wow… 18 months later and I don’t remember typing that at all….

Did you do the job though?

Ideally, I would give them all a dedicated supply from the board, but wrong end of the house. At least the kitchen rfc only serves the kitchen and not the rest of the downstairs.

Both ovens are designed to be plugged in, so i might just give them a single socket each, on the ring... (not a double to serve both) and see what happens. Leaving the hob with 32A all for itself. (31.5A for a 7.2kW appliance. That's pushing it already!)

that's what I'd do.
