[QUOTE="robv, post: 561710, member: 38447"] 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. [/QUOTE]
