hi all,
I'm making a heat box with 6 x 1KW oven heat elements inside.

[ElectriciansForums.net] heat box wiring - 6 oven heat elements


I need some guidance with regards to how to wire this box up.
some simple instructions on which wires to use, where to source them etc, would be greatly appreciated.

I would prefer if the box had a single plug which could be connected to the mains BUT I'm told that the standard mains switch won't be suitable as the total power will be 6 x 1KW and the mains will burn out.

The oven will only be used for something like 5 min runs at a time.
 
6kw = 26A , so a dedicated 6mm circuit on 32Aor 40AMCB is what you need. no way can you put it on a standard 13A plug
 
thank you for your replies
could you guide me in simple terms as to how I would complete the circuit using the 6mm thick wire?
thanks
