The electrician that installed my cooker circuit put in 10mm cable with a 32a fuse, a 45a cooker switch and 10mm cable to the backplate for behind the cooker. He put this size in as I didn't know what size cooker I was going to be getting.

I ended up getting a 7.4kw range cooker and the electrician has connected it with 4mm heat resistant cable instead from the cooker to the back plate, instead of 6mm. Is this okay, and is it okay with the 10mm cable and 32a fuse?

Thanks

At least he used heat-resistant cable, most just use twin and earth.
 
i see i misread.... its 7400, not 7200

32.17A.... but still..... never going to pull that much
quite right, allowing for diversity I doubt it will pull 20 amps.
