We have twin integrated Neff ovens going into our kitchen and the manuals say they need to be wired into an all pole isolating switch with a 3mm contact gap.
Does each oven need an isolating switch of its own or can they both be wired into the same one?
Can't help but getting involved as I will have the same query soon.
Use a 45A cooker isolator [url= http://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-2-gang-45a-dp-switch-with-neon-white/15973 ]like this[/url] which will feed a cooker outlet [url= http://www.screwfix.com/p/mk-45a-cooker-connection-unit-white/16686 ]like this.[/url] which should have space for two connecting cables. Protect the cables with a suitably sized mcb in the consumer unit.
A quick google shows a double neff oven pulling 4.4kW total load. This equates to just under 20 amps.
6mm cable to the isolator. 2 x 2.5 cables one to each oven. 20A MCB in the consumer unit.
Obviously this may vary if the oven is rated differently.
Single isolator is fine. In my opinion, probably preferable as if one oven catches fire you'll want to isolate the whole lot, not just one of them.
Rich.
Also, are they separately powered or one cable does both?
Thanks rwamartin that's a great help.
Have bought the sockets you recommended and will fit them today.
