[QUOTE="Hefferl, post: 420787, member: 2471"] I am taking account and not blindly following the MI - if I was blindly following I wouldnt be considering option 1. But also I'm not just ignoring them and thats why I posted the question to see if there was a way to achieve this. I do realise that the device needs to correspond and not be exactly equal - but my point is that with a 32A radial the device will not correspond with the power (15A or so) of an individual oven and as such will only protect the cable and not the appliance as the manufacturer asks - and whether to divide by 230 or 240 depends on what voltage the power rating is quoted at surely? I am not worried about overloading the supply as the two ovens combined will not exceed the MCB/Cable rating. I guess I could run the radial to a small enclosure with 2 x 16A MCBs - but the general concensus appears to be that If I correctly protect the cable I have done enough so thats what I shall do - many thanks to all, [/QUOTE]
