MCB size and wire size for an electric oven and induction hob

[Midwest]

Sorry meant hob not job! Most I installed were separate, sometimes different manufacturers.

The calculation that Brian did for you took into account both appliances.

Thanks

Lol difficult as I am replacing the oven and hob only as the kitchen is already installed, so installing a new 10mm wire to allows for a second feed would be difficult

In plain, simple English: Your existing supply cable and existing MCB are more than adequate for your new oven and hob.

Question how can you tell what size the cable is when it's not printed on the cable ?

Looking at it plus experience, but in the absence of that, measure the diameter of a conductor with callipers or a micrometer, and calculate the cross sectional area.
