    I have a hob hard wired question I wish to install a double oven under this hob can I have this oven wired into the same box as the hob or will I have to go back to the fuse box and wire a new box?

    Depends on several things, what is the combined load in kilowats, also what size of cable is supplying the outlet? In general if the combined load is below 15kW and the cable is at least 6.00mm and on a 32 amp mcb it will be ok. There are other considerations, eg, how long a run is involved and is the cable covered by insulation anywhere along it's path, if so 10.00mm cable might be necessary.

    All depends on what cable is installed.

    How much wattage the new cooker is.

    I believe a cooker under new regs has to be on its own circuit.
    Am I correct in saying it also needs to be on its own circuit Sen.

    Not necessarily Tore, nothing wrong with it being on the cooker circuit.
