Looking at a Hoover HO7DC3B308IN Hoovers website doesn't appear to have heard of it.Currys and Hughes (2 main stockists) don't seem to have a clue either (although to be fair to Hughes they did open a manual in store for me and we confirmed there is no specs about power supply).I'm guessing from the fact that it doesn't come with any cable means it needs to be wired into a dedicated circuit ? Which our kitchen has the remnants of from the CU. Just no feed from the wall.My impression is regs need the oven to be wired in directly - no plug ?What sort of cabling is appropriate ? 4mm, 6mm ?

It's a built-in double oven. It will be hard-wired to an isolating switch.

Electric Oven advice ?

I think that my 22 feet of 16mm2 T&E to the cooker point might be a tad oversized, but it *was* free :)

Our double over is rated at 4.9kW peak load (it does also quote an average of 0.79kWh per oven for its consumption, suggesting a duty cycle of just over 32% on).

Our induction hob is rated at 7.3kW, but can take a peak of 9.7kW, for a maximum of 10 minutes, if all four "rings" are heating and the two largest are in "powerboost" mode (it automatically limits to two at a time and and cuts back to normal full-power after 10 minutes).

So the hob is twice the peak load of the ovens - although I don't know the duty cycle for the hob "rings" and so can't compare the average loads).

All fitted.

With typical luck the physical adjusting the space in the cabinet took

80% of the time. The electrics were easy. As I fed the cable through I realised it was in the void where the previous own had a false wall fitted for the kitchen. You could have got 25mm2 cable through it.

Many thanks again for the advice and pointers.

I'm sure it doesn't - but my impression is that most have been in the past - and the OP's switch is probably red.

Strangely... yes.

It's not a term from university.

But it is used on the job, if you work with infrastructure or power supply people or component selection engineers.
