I have a feeling I'm breaking all sorts of rules by following up my
own original posting, but it seemed to apply to the whole thread.

I have noticed a footnote in the oven specs (it's a Bosch oven) that
says "we recommend that all models should be connected using a fused
spur outlet". This footnote applies to all the ovens, including the
double ovens.

According to my very limited understanding, a "spur outlet" would
imply to me that it's a spur off a ring circuit. Or could you have a
spur off a radial circuit, e.g. a multi-point radial circuit where you
provide a number of fused outlets tapped off the radial circuit?

How would you interpret this footnote?

Many thanks.

Hi all

Is it possible to power a single oven and a combination microwave/oven off
an existing single radial (I presume) circuit (currently powering a double
oven)? Both appliances have a max power rating of 3.6 kW (or 3.6kW and
3.7kW). I make it that each would draw 15A max, so both together would draw
30A max; would this work using the existing radial circuit? Bearing in mind
also that the single oven will be moved to the other side of the kitchen
(approx 2.5m) from the existing double oven, so a feed will need to be taken
across there, with the combi oven on the side of the existing double oven.
There will also be a fridge on the combi oven side, and we would need a
double socket outlet for general purpose. How would this be wired up?
Would the ovens be individually fused?

An electrician I had around yesterday said he could get away without using
the existing double oven electricl circuit for the new single oven on the
other side of the kitchen, using the ring circuit on that side in some
way... would this be possible / safe? From my research, this is not
possible.

Many many thanks!!
