Hi,he
What is the correct application of diversity, when a separate hob and oven share a single feed. As far as I see it, electrically they are the same as a free standing cooker - or does a cooker have a limiting mechanism to prevent all circuits from working at the same time.
Hob is 6.7kw, and oven 4.6kw. This would be approx 49amps.
If diversity is applied individually a 29 amp circuit would be ok. If diversity applied on the joint load, then it is down to 22amp. Which is the correct method?
In any case, 6mm (clipped), with a 32a breaker should feed both without a problem, and also follows OSG recommendation of 32 amp for 15kw max.
