power supply to hob and oven

Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 2.56 PM

can i connect a new hob (6600w) to an existing 32 amps wall mounted socket that serves an existing double oven (5180w)-----the 32 amps supply is from a 32amps trip switch

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hello, the existing oven uses 23amps and the hob would use 29amps. so the existing 32amp socket would be inadiquate fot the both. You would require a registered electrician to install a new cooker circuit to provide sufficiant power for both with the relivant rated fuse and cable. kind regards.
