Been asked to connect up a used rangemaster all-electric cooker. No rating plate but model name is 'classic 90'. It has an induction hob.

Existing cable is 6.00mm on a 32A mcb.

Phoned the manufacturer who said it would be fine, since diversity could be applied but we would have to fit a cooker switch without a built in 13a socket and uprate the mcb to 40A.

I am a little troubled to say the least.

Comments welcome.

Who said anything about fault conditions?

Ah, I was quoting out of the 17th: 433.1 "Every circuit shall be designed so that a small overload of long duration is unlikely to occur." and earlier editions echo the same.

My 18th isn't to hand so apologies if I've got the wrong Reg no.
