flex size connecting multiple ovens

wallywombat
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.

    What is the difference in resistance between the 6mm and 2.5mm for your tail to the cooker? If you really are that close to the mcb  not tripping, I suggest you have far more wrong with the circuit.
