Simply because I prefer the protective device to be the nearest rating to the load. You'll often find appliance manufactures specify fuse ratings for their appliances as well, and despite the OCPD being there to protect the cable their instructions have precedence.
"pot" and "kettle" come to mind.You just like the sound of your own typing.

Correct !... If the appliance is supplied with a connecting cable, then it would be suitable to carry the maximum load. There must be smaller csa wires inside an oven ...
i 4 1 ain't give you a disagree whatever. me tired too so it's goodnite from me, and goodnite from him.I'm kinda surprised at the likes, dislikes etc to my posts. Its not like its rocket science. I'm not preaching no more than what's said been before. 'll say no more. I'm off to bed
It's an oven, so unlikely to cause an overload and it is therefore reasonable to omit overcurrent protection.
Is a short length of 1.5mm flex going to be protected against a short circuit fault by a 32-A MCB?
I think so, otherwise there would have been a lot of blown 1mm and 1.5mm cpcs on spurs from ring circuits in the days before RCDs, but I'll leave it to the proper electricians to discuss...
