[QUOTE="Revved Up Sparky, post: 392510, member: 5050"] It's usually OK to install a dual outlet and wire both hob and oven from it, the oven getting it's overcurrent protection via a 13A FCU, the FCU would need to be wired in minimum 4.0mm CSA cable from the hob outlet (for a 32A circuit). If you use 6.0mm you might struggle to get the three cables in the hob outlet - a 4.0mm flex for the hob could make life easier too. If the oven is rated at 3500W that gives a design current of over 15A and IIRC diversity cannot be applied to the oven therefore a 13A FCU may be inadequate. It may be necessary to run a 2.5mm radial circuit from the consumer unit protected by a 16A MCB with a DP switch above counter height and a second low level outlet plate for the oven. For clarity I would scrutinize the manufacturers recommendations. [/QUOTE]
