How a cable is installed is called the installation method. The installation method is a factor that determines the current carrying capacity of the cable. One of the worst installation methods with regards to current carrying capacity is when the cable is run through or touching insulation. Do you know how your 6mm oven supply is installed so we can get a better picture of the current carrying capacity of the cable to aid further advice?
You're talking about the existing "cooker" supply here? It will be used for the induction hob, not the oven. From the fuse box (45 amp fuse) there is about 8 metres of twin and earth going to the switch with neon. About 4 metres goes along brick wall and 4 metres in stud wall. Then from the switch above the worktop, about 1.3 metres to the junction box under the worktop. Is this what you want to know or can I gave you any more info?
This is all really helpful, guys.
