Dear all
Looked a job today in a kitchen
Existing 6mm t&e supply on a 30a Wylex 3036
Lady of the house wants to change existing oven and put in 2 single ovens in one housing
What's the best method of feeding these off the 6mm
Can't do a double socket as it's only rated at 13 / 20 amps
Was thinking of 2 single sockets but I guess it would be a struggle to get 2 x 6mm's into the back of one of them ( or would it )
Advise appreciated please

What are the ratings of the 2 single ovens? may need to do some calculations to get the correct size cable, no good bungin 2 ovens on a 6mm if it ain't big enough is it????
 
Thanks for the replies gents
Pete. The ovens are both going to have 13plug tops so 3kw max so 26 amps should be good

Snow. Need isolation as well as cable is just straight out of wall. 50a cooker point feeding the dual appliance outlet seems s but over engineered that's why I thought of 2 single sockets.
 
Go fitting sockets they will need rcd protection, does it already have it ?

Hi westward
Old Wylex board so no RCD as yet. Was thinking of a single RCD external to the board just for this circuit as customer won't go to a board change. Would the dual appliance outlet need to be RCD protected as it's hard wired. I know in an ideal world everything should be but I'm fighting a cost cutter

Assuming you are not going to chase any more cables in the wall then no, but there is always the good old manufacturers instructions to consider.
