Kitchen Wiring

[ben9790]

Hi All,

Im looking at refurbishing the kitchen.

I'm getting an integrated single electric oven that runs max at 2.9kW and an electric hob that runs max at 6.6kW. i already have a 32amp circuit for the old cooker in situ. can i run both the cooker and the hood off that same 32amp circuit?
I also wanted to have a grid switch with separate switches for the cooker and hob. can I do this, as i have the old black and red 6mm cable and am not sure if it will even fit into the rocker switch terminals?

then i wanted to use another 32amp circuit already in situ for x2 double sockets and the rest of the appliances. i.e. washer/dryer, hood, microwave and fridge freezer. (is it essential to have the fridge on its own unprotected circuit?), think the boiler is on this circuit too.
i would have sockets local to the appliances and again have them run through the grid switch above the work top.

am i ok doing it like this or do I need to change anything?

thanks.
Ben.

Can your electrician not advise you?

Age of installation? Earthing? Bonding? RCD's? Loads? Zones?

Your kitchen or a customers?

Seems like you have a good plan, all you need now is a good Electrician to work with and get the results that you are looking for.

As above, other things need to be considered. This is were a face to face consultation from a local sparky comes into play.

don't know age of installation. the CU says was installed in 2011 and has 2 RCD's on board.


what i really need to know is do i need to run in another 32amp circuit to separate the oven and hob or can I run them both on the same circuit at round about 10kW?

doesn't seem right to me so thought i'd ask.

That's where you need the electrician to guide you as 'diversity' would come into play.

does no one know the answer then?

No the reason why you haven't been given the answer is because your o.p contains text which indicates that you are not a qualified electrician otherwise you'd know the answer. You should NOT undertake notifiable work of any sort if you are not competent to do so. You are seeking answers to then do the work yourself i take it.

Yes, it has already been said. Get an Electrician in to look at this and design the install correctly.

You will not receive a definitive answer to your question via words on a forum. Please get someone to look at this and do not take it any further by yourself.

I think the O.P gets the gist.

guys......it was a simple question. i thought the point in these forums was to ask questions.

But, if you guys don't know the answers its fine no need to get defensive and embarrassed you don't know!
