Present setup is a conventional Bosch combined oven / grill wired with 6mm twin going to 32A breaker in CU, via isolator switch.

I will be replacing this with a separate oven and a grill/microwave.

The oven listed in mfg catalogue as: Total rated load: 3.5kW, Fuse rating 16A.

Grill/microwave: Total rated load: 3.3kW, Fuse rating 16A.

The present setup does not have a pattress box and cable outlet, the 6mm cable just hangs out the wall.

Is it best practice to:

  • (a) connect oven with existing 6mm and daisy-chain on to grill/microwave.
  • (b) fit a wall box with cable outlet and connect both appliances to the new cable outlet.
  • (c) get an electrician to run a separate power cable back to the CU with a separate fuse now that I have two appliances?



Many thanks for any advice you can offer.
