4mm cable, 32a breaker for 16.2kw Rangemaster installed by electrician

[Chris C300]

Hi, during kitchen refurbishment, the electrician installed a 4mm cable and 32a breaker for the new induction hob rangemaster oven that is rated at 16.2kw.

Same electrician couldn't connect hook up cooker, so I asked someone else to do it. The new electrician refused to connect up saying it needs a 10mm cable 45a breaker. Both professionals are in disagreement. Would be great to get a consensus here please. I want to use the oven without concern it may trip the breaker (5 induction hobs, 2 ovens and warming drawer)

Thanks

Except on modern cookers that use very poor quality terminal blocks.

Originally designed for three phase supplies at one third of the current ?

Yet type approved for use in the UK.

Which body is responsible?

And now back to the other thread about AFDD's

But I only fitted AFDDs to the circuits supplying socket outlets!!!!

Yes, quite common in various European countries. I wish we had it more here, it's much easier wiring a cooker with a 5 core 2.5mm flex.

No complaining! It's all part of haRMoniSiNG WiTH EUroPe. Think how wonderful it is that all these changes mean you can now drag your 1200 wide UK rangemaster cooker over to France and wire it into your new home there! How's that for convenience.

Extremely convenient once you've paid the export tax, import tax, brexit tax....
