New 16amp 3.6kW oven install
Want a new oven installed. Old one was 13amp connected via plug. Have 6mm cable attached to 40amp on circuit breaker already supplying induction hob. New oven is 3.6kW 16amp.
From what I've looked at i think I do not need new wire from circuit board. Is this correct?
Expert Trade Answers
"Is the oven going on the same circuit as the hob? The 40 amp fed from the 6mm cable? Technically, depending on how the cable is run, the 6mm may not be sufficient enough to carry 40 amps and should be on a 32 amp, connecting a 16 amp 3.6 kw to this would likely blow the breaker, seeing as the induction hob is potentially 6kw meaning your total power is 9.6kw, personally I would give them separate circuits"
