oven isolation??

7671 does say you must follow manufacturers instructions, so they can override 7671, but from some previous manufacturers instructions, i think id rather ignore them and stick only to 7671!

Just got back so here we go. I have to try to use the existing circuit to keep costs down. Fix it and bodge it did the barn conversion 5 years ago. The building works are crap but the electrics appeared to be done proffesionally. Theres underfloor heating and some horrendous routes, the elderly couple are very pleasant and we are trying to keep costs down. There is another builder there putting things right also. Idealy it would be nice to run some more circuits. As far as I am aware and I have checked it out with the NICEIC that manufacturers specification overides the red comic. Any suggestion on the last point.

Hi Guys. Got a job on tuesday to supply two separate Miele ovens. Each oven is 3.6KW and because of the logistics of the kitchen I am going to use the existing 32 amp (6mm cable) supply which originally supplied the previous oven. The job was prepared before the ovens arrived with the information I had been given. The manufactorers instructions are to fit a fused connection unit or a double pole isolator. The connected flex from the ovens is 2.5mm.The max load of the ovens is nearly 16A each. Therefore 13A fcu's would be insufficient and the 32A MCB at the c/unit would not protect the ovens. Your advice and thoughts would be most appreciated. I know that manufactorers spec supercedes the red book.

You seem to have answered ur own question use the 'DP Isolator' option.
