[QUOTE="AttitudeAllStar, post: 555222, member: 37890"] ProDave I haven't laughed so hard in a long time after reading your Plumber's van motto! The hob here draws max 29A as is 5.8kw, the diagram on the back indicates 2.5mmsq wiring. The oven is a 4-5kw from memory. Conveerting from an old one-stop-shop cooker (with no fancy timer!) and a huge red switch that looks like it should be in a war room. Edit: coffee seems to have kicked in, obviously a 5.8kw hob capable of drawing 29A should not be on a 13A FCU, rather as you suggest should share the load or have its own dedicated circuit. Still, if that 45A isolator switch is on a 32A breaker, it may be a problem. Maybe the 32A can be upgraded. [/QUOTE]
