New oven installation

[robv]

Hi all, so I've just bought my new oven/hob cooker and on the back of it it says power consumption 230V/240V~7600/8300W. This equates to 33.04A and 34.58A! So obviously I'm wiring it into the standard 32A wall outlet with the 6mm t+e cable provided. It doesn't seem safe to me that this appliance is going to overload the circuit. We have a big family and I will likely be using all 4 hobs and the oven at the same time so I will be drawing full current and not applying diversity often. Can anyone assure me this is safe or will I need to uprate the cooker circuit to say 40A with 10mm cable? Thank you.

Diversity in this case is more about the thermostats which turn off the heating elements when at temperature.
So 10 amp +30% of the remainder assuming no socket

I doubt that the 6mm Twin and Earth cable is the correct method of final correction as stipulated by the manufacturers, but what do I know

It always amazes me, that when you open the oven up, the cables are so thin!

if you can do it with 10mm, then do it, remember the MCB is there for the cable, not what's connected to it

Heat rated insulation, but yeah, they certainly looks skinny

So is it safe to just wire it up as it is and use it as it is? No overload issues if the stats are gonna be cycling on/off?

Yes

Yes, assuming the cooker isolator switch isn't the type that also has a single socket attached, then it will be fine. if you have a smart meter you will be able to see your current draw when you are using it and im willing to bet you never get anywhere near the 7.6KW

But you know as well as I do kerch, that most of them do seem to end up connected with T/E, and I can't ever recall having seen it result in a problem
