hello all, i would be grateful for some advice or pointing in the right direction from someone more knowledgeable and experienced than my not long out of college self.
on a new build, before i had knew what the kitchen appliance specs were, i installed a 10mm cable from board, through cooker switch, to outlet plate and also a single socket off kitchen ring in adjacent cupboard for oven.
the appliances,
siemens 4 ring induction hob - the instructions give the power draw of the rings when on boost, these add up to 7200w. the rating plate on the hob however states I=20a so i'm assuming the hob has an internal limiter. it has an integral 2.5mm flex.
siemens oven -HB13AB550B the instructions say I=16a and this appliance must not be connected with 13a plug, the rating plate on the oven says electrical connection rating 2900w. ( could this be siemens attempt at diversity? ). it has an integral 1.5mm flex.
i want to put both flexes into the outlet plate and protect with an 40amp breaker ( possibly a 32a but they're are moving in just before christmas dinner so maybe not) but the 1.5mm oven flex is making me nervous. i know the flexes are ok for overload protection but i'm not sure how to prove they would be ok under other fault conditions ie short circuit and earth fault.
any thoughts or advice would be appreciated
