Oven and cooker circuits

[JackArmy]

Hi i have a double oven which is 5.8kw and induction hob which is 7.4kw there currently isnt a cooker circuit in the house but there is 2 spaces in the CU so am I correct in thinking I can put 2x32A breakers in and run 6mm cable to both .

5800+7400=13200
13200÷230=57.4A
57.4A-10=47.4A
47.4A×0.3=14.22A
14.22A+10=24.22A with diversity applied

I prefer to apply diversity to each separate appliances (in excess of 10A) individually, as opposed combining their total loads, then using formulae.

What do ya think?

I think a bit of 6mm will murder it, as usual.

Probably; with my methodology, it comes in at 31A ish, no socket incuded.

Why would you do that then

Hi new on here and back on the tools after years of point at stuff for others (so go easy). I understand diversity, but with an induction hob it is quite easy to put all rings on and be drawing max load (think Sunday dinner of all the family). The same with the oven when heating up. For the sake of another cable (there is a spare way) and future proofing, why would you not run 2 x 6mm cable on 2 x 32A breakers?

you can have all rings on together, but that will only be for a short period till the stats start switching .

Depends on how they are made. I have installed induction hobs that are rated at a total load of over 6kW yet are supplied with 1.5mm flex and a 13A plug top.

try bosh induction hob ,not 1.5mm cable but 4mm.
