The existing cooker circuit is 6mm² on a B40. The customer wants to replace the free-standing cooker with 2 built-in ovens and an induction hob. Will each cable from cooker outlet to device need to be the full 6mm², (e.g HO7RN-F) or can I get away with anything smaller and more convenient (e.g. what's supplied with each oven/hob, if anything)? The final purchasing choice hasn't been made yet, so I don't know whether any of the devices will be suitable for a 13A plug/FCU, which can obviously accept a smaller cable.
Depending on the wattage of the ovens 2.5mm will probably suffice, in fact it's a problem getting anything larger into the terminals on a lot of modern ovens.
