Is this for purchase or quoting purposes? I'll have a scout round the shed in a bit if you're looking to buy one.

Can you not use a 50 amp one they are readily available.

not on a 6mm

40 amp should be ok for cooker.

 

[danny7299]

hob and cooker ... he has had the book out and the hob is 30 amp and the oven is on a fused spur off the cooker connection unit which he says its 13 amp...

what do you think...? would 40 still be ok? what do you think the chances are of them both being on full at the same time?

They only do 40 or 50 in new range.

A 40Amp MCB will happily take 50Amps, in the unlikely event that all rings are on the hob, and oven is pulling full power

if its under 15kw for both then it should be ok on a 32mcb, taking in diversity

soo i would think 40 will be fine
