Multiple cooking appliances.

[Soulsurfer]

Hi all,
Just looking into a kitchen refit where the customer has gone a bit excitable with the cooking side of things !

Have done lots of installs with two appliances on the one circuit but anyone know of any issue with feeding three rather than run a new circuit for say the new hob alone ?

I have an existing 32A rcbo on a 6mm twin for built in oven now and hob but new kit is an oven at 3.45kW
Combi oven / micro at 3.6kW

and finally an induction hob at 5.6kW
24.3A fuse rating on spec sheet so they haven't allowed any diversity.
Anyone fitted them with a diversity applied ? as I haven't fitted any induction before.

I'm making it a shade under 27A for the oven and combi together,

and if allowed on induction 18.7A approximately but I'm thinking likely run a new circuit from cu at the full load rating the manufacturer of the hob has given.

Isn't the problem that you've only got 6mm and a 32A mcb? Now I've smelt the cooking I def would not add this new hob to that circuit, a change from what I implied at 6:30 this morning ...(darn, too late to edit?). If circuit was at least 40A then it's a maybe but we are back to actual useage vs OSG advice. A 2nd 6mm and it can be Christmas every day

I think if you have one existing 32A radial, I'd be inclined to drag in another. If you have a butchers at H4 OSG (described by some, as a storybook with pictures), it makes reference to isolation, and refers to reg 536.2, which I can't make sense of, but think says refer to manufacturer?

Yes mate, I did read that and the reg which is another quite flouncy sentence and in my mind is taken as add an isolation switch to switch the appliances conveniently rather than one switch to shut off 3 different appliances for instance. Either way thanks for input from all I'm nearly off to the airport as Mallorca soon !

At least take the OSG with you for lying by the pool reading material - you'll be clued up by the time you return!
Happy holiday!
