2 x 13A ovens On A Ring

[No1]

2 x 13A ovens on a ring circuit, what are your views on this, ok, or better practice to put one on its own circuit?

 

[Andy™]

not ideal, but unless they are both used at the same time, i cant really see a major problem

 

[green-hornet]

Its acceptable, however if all other appliances where to work at the same time, it may be prudent to put the higher stuff on a dedicated circuit.

 

[Theorysparky]

whereabouts are they on the ring ??

both towards one end ???

if so i would tend to avoid it and split them

 

[Couleddie]

What about other appliances in the kitchen? Doesn't take long to reach max capacity of a ring in a kitchen without even taking an oven into account - kettle, dishwasher, toaster plus possible washer and drier.

Wouldn't be happy with it myself.

If possible, I`d seperate the ring into 2 x 20A radials; even though you still won`t be left with much in the way of overhead capacity - Much more preferable to give such fixed loads dedicated supplies

Assuming your ovens ARE 13a

e.g. 13A x 230v 2.99kWatt

Then as Mr K. Mr M. Mr E. says.....

Dedicated circuit! :|

Or if you prefer the guidance out of BIG RED...

try page 362... Appendix 15, Ring Cicuit... bullet point (iii)

General guidance to comply with reg 433.1.5 can be achieved by:-

connecting cookers, ovens & hobs with a rated power exceeding 2kW on their own dedicated radial circuit.

Thats 8.7amps or higher?

Double check the ACTUAL power rating of the ovens .

not just the fuse size to stick in the plug?

I would not be happy having this set up why do you ask?

One 20A radial would suffice for these ovens.

I wouldn't add them to a ring. As already mentioned, it is quite easy to get a high, short term current peak in a kitchen already.
