I’m still an apprentice electrician so the whole thing around diversity is still a bit confusing to me
A family member has moved into a new flat. The existing cooker circuit is 6mm on a 32A MCB. She has bought a cooker which pulls 9.6Kw.
I know you do 9600/230 = 41.7
This is telling me that a 32A isn’t going to suffice for this, or am I wrong?
I am going to recommend to her that I rewire the cooker supply in 10mm and put it on a 40A MCB. Is this correct? If not, if someone could break it down to me how you work out the diversity it would be appreciated
