Hi
I know this has been done to death, but was looking for some definitive opinions.
Eg 6mm t+e 4kw double oven 7kw hob 32a MCB or 40a MCB
From searching the forum it appears acceptable to connect both appliances to a single supply bearing in mind diversity.
It has been stated that 2.5 hr flex for oven and 4mm for hob connected to outlet plate.
The 32a MCB would not protect the 2.5 for overload (unlikely) but would for short circuit.
If the manufacturer has no requirement for MCB sizing is the above acceptable? I.e. were protecting the external cable not the load.
However if the manufacturer states 20a ocpd would it be necessary to add a cu to split cable and provide this.
I've seen it done both ways , a recent kitchen install 20a double oven 45 a dp switch, 6 mm cable 40a MCB.
A lot of appliances Bosch Siemens neff now supplying combined ovens, micros etc as 16 a how does everyone supply these especially a a retro fit.
Sorry for rambling post hope you can extract what I'm asking.
