2 ovens 1 circuit?

[JoeDonnelly1]

I've been asked to run in a supply for 2 2.8kW fan assisted ovens (none of them have hobs) but there is only 1 spare way on the main board, if it was only 1 oven 2.5mm would be big enough as well as a 20A fuse but as I need to supply 2 using 1 MCB I'm a bit weary as to how to do this safely without over heating being a problem can anyone assist?

So long as the MCB and cable are rated accordingly why would there be an issue running the two ovens on a single circuit?

32A MCB with 4mm radial circuit?

What would be the best way of supply both ovens then e.g a 4mm supply cable into a cooker switch, and a 4mm load to the first oven and then spur off onto the second oven?

4mm or 6mm ( i'd go for 6mm to allow for larger loads in the future) to cooker isolator, then to a dual outlet plate, one for each oven. ssiimplesss.

I don't think we should be giving advice on this. see earlier post:-

why you asking same question you have been given correct advice already

Maybe he didn’t like the first answers.

PLEASE DON’T ASK THE SAME QUESTION TWICE!

I cannot with a clear conscience give you any advice. This is basic stuff for a qualified electrician and this question suggests you are not. A kitchen is an area which is notifiable to your local building control so please get an electrician to do this work.

I See this is an old post but, in the BS7671 doesn't it say any circuit greater than 2kw have it own circuit??

You are completely correct ..... this is an old thread.

 

[DuaneMHunt1976]

This is a NEW CIRCUIT as seem to be ADDING WIRING AND MCB
so will need correct paper work with it

yes but the 2 ovens would be one circuit. so the load of 5.6kW ( before diversity) would be on it's own circuit.

haha that is cool Tel. I love the way you took "connecting cookers, ovens and hobs with a rated power exceeding 2 kW on their own dedicated radial circuit" and twisted it to suit you.
