I hope that I am not trespassing because I am not an electrician but I am trying to get an answer to what I know must be a very basic question.
I wish to replace an existing built-under single oven which is plugged-in to a radial circuit using 2.5mm T&E on a 16A MCB. The wiring is 15yrs old on a Hagen consumer unit.
The new oven would be a double oven with a max 4KW rating at 18A.
My question is whether or not it could be plugged-in to this circuit, or does it need a new one in 6mm?
I appreciate that the present MCB would be inadequate.
The manufacturers won't advise on H&S grounds, not even to say if they designed it to be plug-in or not (!) and I don't feel I could call-in an electrician just to be advised "Plug it in!"
