2.25 KW cookers and above

[Badger]

is there a new regulation for cookers/ovens 2.25 KW and above to be on their own circuit?

 

[fletchflash]

its not a reg, but is recommended it be on its own circuit.

13amp or less ovens can be plugged into ring, takes a lot of current off the ring though.

depends on size of kitchen and how many appliances but i niormally put ovens on a seperate circuit whatever the rating

It's in one of the appendices at the back of the BRB. Any fixed equipment of 2kW or greater is recommended to be on its own circuit.

I usually go by the size of the kitchen , little pokey one, use the ring main, gert big 'un with loads of equipment, own radial.

Didn't have the BRB to hand earlier:

It's on page 362, appendix 15, item 1 (iii)

Basically it is guidance on how to achieve regulation 433.1.5, ie not overloading one leg of a ring for long periods.
