29 Amp double oven fitting

David Routley · Nov 11, 2018

Hi All, I am installing a new double oven and ceramic hob where a stand alone oven used to be, the oven is rated at 29amp but not sure what the ceramic hob is, current wiring is 10mm from a b40 fuse in the consumer unit to a 45amp cooker switch and plate, I know that I need to change the plate for a dual one but do you think the b40 fuse will be man enough and is 29amp high for a double oven.

I would think you should be OK with what you have already judging from afar, don't forget Diversity is applied to cookers where by not all of the cooker will be used at any one time, it's difficult to explain on an internet Forum, but if you are still worried, contact an electrician to get the wiring, MCB checked out, if you post your location there maybe a Forum Member near your location who would be willing to take a look and reassure you, good luck.
