Would the following be OK?

Starting at the CU
1. 32A Mcb
2. 6mm2 T&E
3. 20A DP Switch (within 2m of unit)


Make this switch 32A.

4. 6mm2 T&E
5. 13A Double socket(unswitched - (labeled specifically to say cooker
circuit?))
6. butyl insulated cable + 13amp plug to oven unit

This would also allow the hob to be plugged in.


Any additional advice/comments welcome.


That'll all work fine. The only thing I *may* do differently is use
unswitched fused spurs in place of the two plugs, the reason being
that some ovens will use close to the 13A and can overheat the plug
and socket arrangement although at just over 2 KW you should be fine
with the socket.
