I have been further looking at my consumer unit installation (had problems previously) and noticed my "cooker" feed has 6mm T+E cable but no electric cooker. Furthermore i have no intention of ever buying an electric cooker. Instead it is being used as a feed for the boiler, washing machine, fridge, and microwave. It has now effectively become a radial socket circuit.
Because the initial wire is 6mm for about 4-5 metres which has a socket attached, then a spur to a further double socket, am i correct in thinking a 40amp MCB is too high for this purpose? Would a 32amp or 16amp be more appropriate or is this not the case due to the cable being 6mm and requiring a 40a mcb regardless of use.
Thanks in advance.
