cooker electrics
Hi,
I started to think about refurbishing my kitchen but then it stalled. I've started thinking about it again At the moment, the hob and oven are next to each other and a radial runs to a cooker switch and thence to the hob and from there to the oven. My latest idea is to have the oven on the opposite wall, which will necessitate a second wire. So which is the best way to proceed: 1. two separate MCBS one for each radial (probably the best but requires space for another mcb in the CU) 2. as now run the radial to the hob and then to the oven's new position, providing that the increase cable length does not cause any problems (voltage drop? - but the kitchen isn't that big!) 3. run two radials from one mcb. Is this allowed? I don't like this because someone looking at the cu might see two cables and think it is a ring. If it was clearly marked as two radials though, would it be ok? My instinct is that this is not the best way but IANA Electrician. TIA |
