Btw the new oven needs a minimum “3mm contact opening circuit breaker, rated 32a and a delayed functioning type must be installed inside supply circuit”

Old oven connections

that makes more sense
all they have done is go in and out of the ovenso wire goes from switch to oven and oven to hob
chances are with the oven you have the terminal block will not be big enough to take 2 6mm cables so you will need to add a 30a 3 terminal joint box and you will need a short peice of cable to go from the box to the oven

Do you think that was a dangerous circuit configuration? The old oven element died, wondering if it was overloaded when hob and oven on together.
When you say terminal block do you mean the connection unit white box junction back plate thing? You’re saying I may need another one?
Can’t I just use a double appliance one? Like this.
There’s spare cable on the old oven. Thanks Dave, good man.electrofix wrote:difference between new and old install. new one uses a joint box

Is a 30 amp junction box ok if cooker requires 32a?
Is this ok Dave?the 32a rating really only relates to the size of the terminals as the cables are being squashed together anyway. so it will be fine
plus as with most appliances the current rating is max. Unless you have 10 people round for dinner its unlikley you will draw anywhere near this current. If your only using the oven it only takes 12A

Yeah. I know what you mean. I have no outside space and live on a main road! On the upside I have a harbour side 2 min cycle away, so am better off than a lot. It’s peaceful sauntering down there on the scrubland. Think it will be late summer before any semblance of normality, that’s exlcuding pubs!
All the best. Matt
