[QUOTE="PC Electrics, post: 117449, member: 650"] Why two radials for the oven and hob? A single 32A/6mm cooker radial is good for up to 15kW. With diversity your total cooking load comes in at 24A. IMO you're wasting cable, accessories and time. I would urge you to find a route that goes through the safe zones. if you cannot then 3mm steel is the level of protection you need. And put a note on the CU - some kitchen fitter is going to try and drill through it to fit a new cabinet in a couple of decades time! You should earth it to the same circuti it's protecting, preferably. Otherwise another note on the CU. The copper pipe is already bonded, you say. Leave it as it is. For RM1 mod, use crimps or a maintenance free jb. [/QUOTE]
