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.

    Don’t you use a long wander lead to walk through the house or flat to endure there is earth continuity from the MET to everything that should be earthed, such as the screws of the plastic light fittings, metal light switches and fittings, the hob and oven; and so on?


    Once you have established that there is potentially an issue the you start dismantling to find out more.


    You are looking for problems, not rewiring the place, don’t obsess about getting a R1+ R2 measurement when R2 will suffice.
