8.4 Cooker circuits in household & similar premises

general comment:

a 30 or 32 amp circuit is usually appropriate for household or similar cookers up to a rating of 15kW

20A + 45A = 65A x 230v = 14950watts (upto 15kW;) :D )

OR Diversity calcs:-

Appendix 1 Page 96 On Site Guide.

First 10A

+ 30% of remainder

+ 5A if a socket outlet included.

so 10A + (0.3 x 55A) + 5A = 31.5Amps

so 26.5 if no socket, 31.5 with socket.

:D

Switching:-

The guidance on Page 160 states a circuit between 15A and 50A may supply TWO or MORE cooking appliances providing they are in the same room.

One switch can supply two appliances providing its is no more than 2m form both appliances.
