Ovens on cooker ccts

Farmboy
In domestic kitchens, what do you think of the practice of connecting ovens to 32/40A cb cooker ccts via dual cooker connection outlet plates? For example, along with a 6kw hob, a 2.5kw oven is connected via a 1.5mm2 3 core h/r flex? One view is that it's acceptable because the flex can't be overloaded and the cb provides s/c protection for the flex, nor would it be coded on an eicr.

    As we've recently discussed in another thread, it depends on the manufacturer's installation instructions - the manufacturer has a right to demand an appropriate circuit protective device is used to facilitate fault protection in their appliance - perhaps even the type and rating, e.g. I've heard of B25 mcb or RCBO being specifically stated by one manufacturer.




    If I get an oven, extractor fan or other appliance for a customer I check the installation instructions for odd instructions that will be difficult or impossible to comply with, if there are potential issues I get another manufacturers product.
