We're about to have a new kitchen fitted - would have done it myself,
but SWMBO wanted it done quickly! Fitting company electrician has
ripped out the old CCU which supplied our previous double oven and it
appears that he intends to wire the new ovens (1 single + 1
combination oven - total load around 7 kw) directly to the consumer
unit using the existing 6mm cable. I thought that a CCU was mandatory but
can't find an online copy of
the 17th Regulations to see what is now permissible. Is wiring the
ovens supply directly to the consumer unit OK and is it best
practice? Seems odd to me. Would be grateful for any comments from
those who understand the 17th edition!


Of course it needs an isolator. The single oven may even need a 13A fused
spur.
