You rate the MCB not on the cooker load, but on the grade of cable going

its decent grade cooker cable 45A or 50A MCB is in order.



Yes I realise that, just didnt want it so that we got a cooker that kept
tripping the mcb. Main problem is replacing the cable is not an option (too
many rooms/walls).


Exactly, so put te biggest MCB teh cabkle will stand, and vbuy eh cooker.

Trust me - and ohers - you will never ever have everything flat out. You
would die of heat exhaustion in the kitchen if you did :-)



Thanks
