Hi,
I am NOT an electrician; but I spotted something that I thought was weird or bad practice.
A friend had her house mostly rewired by electricians a few months ago.
She already had a separate 32A MCB and circuit for Oven/Hobs with a 6mm T/E cable.
And the electricians decided to use that circuit and cable for her built in Hobs.
But then they decided to install a 13A switched fused spur coming off her 16A Kitchen Sockets radial circuit. Which also has the Boiler and a few double sockets with White Goods on the same circuit / 16A MCB.
If I was me, I would have taken the 32A 6mm oven cable into an oven connection box and then two 32A 6mm cables out the bottom of that, one going straight to the Hob and one going a short distance to a fused spur that steps this down to 13A and then a 2.5mm cable to the inbuilt Oven.
So that the oven/Hobbs are on the original and seperate oven/Hobbs circuit, with nothing else.
Thoughts?
Thanks
