Two Ovens, One Cable

[Electron]

As my customer didn't know what double oven they wanted I installed a 40A MCB and 6mm twin and earth. When I returned for the second fix they have installed two ovens. One is a single oven (3.65kw 16A) and the other is a microwave/grill/oven (3.45kw 16A). So what is the best way to connect both with one supply? The first idea I had was to use a 45A DP Switch and wire both ovens to this. Ideally, I would like to isolate each one separately. Has anyone any suggestions?

I take your point but would like to add would never use a plug and socket on anything like a hob or double oven ect just single ovens and combination microwave as these tend to either come with a plug or a piece of 1.5 flex fitted.

Hi Simon - agree above - one switch and a double outlet gets my vote

I agree that a single isolation would be fine but this is a better solution. I have ordered this from TLC. They seem to be the only company who supply this. Thanks for your help.

great.just make sure the back box is deep enough so the cables aren't squashed.

^^ if you are hoping to mount this directly behind the oven you may be struggling.
