diversity to fan oven

[infinity]

Would you apply diversity to a integrated fan oven?

For instance a 3.5kw fan oven is never going to pull 3.5KW

So using normal cooker diversity it would bring current down to around 11A from 15A
Meaning a FCU would be ok as opposed to a new circuit?

Is it a cooking appliance?

 

[infinity]

Oh yes

 

[telectrix]

any appliance over 2.2kw SHOULD BE ON IT'S OWN DEDICATED CIRCUIT.

What does the MI say out of interest.

boring. mi is usually full of sh!te.

Regulation number?

There is a recommendation that space heating over 2KW not be put on a ring circuit,

 

[telectrix]

since when has a cooker been classed as space heating? or is it for the tardis?

Think you mis read what was written.

Of course it isn't, and that is my point, you stated that any appliance over 2.2kw needs it's own circuit.
I asked for a regulation number to support this as the only thing I know of in the regs relates to space heating only

 

[telectrix]

i have a personal ideal. if it's more than 2kW, it goes on it;s own circuit. justr like if it's over 2 pints, i let someone else drive. right or wromg, i not been banned as yet. lol.

 

[yellowvanman]

Appendix 15 does suggest that cookers etc with a rated power exceeding 2kW be own their own dedicated circuit

but

Appendices are informative and so are guidance only

 

[davesparks]

Really? I could have sworn it only specified space heating in the over 2kw recommendation,

 

[Simonslimline]

Appendix 15 mentions not supplying immersion heaters, comprehensive electric space heating or loads of a similar profile from the ring circuit. Connecting cookers, ovens and hobs with a rated power exceeding 2KW on their own dedicated radial circuit.

Regulations have nothing to do with it, manufacturers instructions take precedence over the regs and most manufactures suggest a seperate circuit for loads over 2kw not 2.2 as tel suggested lol
