[QUOTE="AttitudeAllStar, post: 555218, member: 37890"] Hi Everyone, Thank God winter is finished with for another trip around the sun. I'm just wondering - usually, a cooker is fed with a 10mm or 6mm sq cable to a 45A FCU with a big bright red button or light. But these days with a separate oven or hob needing a 13A supply, how would these be arranged. Traditionally after using a hob or cookertop, people reach for the red switch. But in this instance, the 45A switch will knock both off instead of just the hob or oven. To be able to isolate them individually, you'd need to split the incoming feed from the 10/6mm cable via a junction box, then into each respective switched isolator. Does that go against wiring regs I don't know. I guess having one main 45A FCU controlling both is best, linked to a junction box which then splits the feed with one going back to a switched 13A FCU located right next to it above the worktop.
