The OSG states that there are two types of radial circuits permitted for socket outlets - A. 2.5mmsq with 20A mcb, or B. 4mmsq with 32A mcb.
A 2.7W electric hob with 13A plug needs to be installed [There is already a gas cooker in place].
Do you recommend a radial circuit (voltdrop considered etc), running to a double pole switched socket outlet, of:
1. 2.5mmsq with 16A mcb (calculated circuit design).
2. 2.5mmsq with 20A mcb (standard radial circuit A).
3. 6mmsq with 32A mcb (future proofing for up to 7kW cooker for next occupants).
4. Guiness Drink
5. something else?
Thanks for any input. My answer would've been 1., but I'd be interested in your learned views :^O seeing as it's not a standard radial circuit for socket outlets.
