2KW oven and 6KW hob on B32 MCB

[JimmyG]

Can a 2kw (on a 1.5mm manufacturers flex) fitted oven and a 6kw hob (on a 2.5mm manufacturer's flex) be connected into a cooker outlet plate behind the cooker? The circuit is wired in 6mm t&e on B32 mcb. It has a 45A cooker switch with 13A socket in the kitchen (within a metre of the appliances)

The short answer is yes they can. However it is advisable to run a couple of years.on the circuit just to make sure it is safe.

Years?
that’s a thorough functional test.

agree the set up is fine.

I meant tests although it still made sense lol

Yes you can - but - I think you will need to connect both supplies to FCU's below the outlet. Otherwise you'll have a 1.5mm2 cable (max current carrying capacity 16 A) and a 2.5mm2 cable (max current carrying capacity 25A) only protected by a 32A MCB

As these are fixed loads there’s no risk of over current so no requirement for local fusing down. Also I don’t know of any 26 amp FCUs.
