Call a local electrician for estimates.
It won't be massively expensive and he'll not tale too long to run a heavier cable.
If it's an old house then a lot of cables will be easy to pull through with the new cable tied to it.
Failing that, then plaster and any capping over the cables may need to be removed and made good after. With some re-decoration involved too.
But with electrics it far better safer than sorrier.
I'd go for the bigger cable rather than a small breaker.
Some prick may replace the breaker for a bigger one and set fire to the place in the process.
Some community responsibility is advised. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

This is why I don't understand the report! |
You and me both. I thought the wording on the report was your bit in italics, which doesn't mention "CPC" at all?
So do you actually know what size cable is fitted on the cooker circuit?
|
I was beginning to wonder but later in the report it definitely states it's 6mm2 conductors with 2.5mm2 earth/CPC. I'll be able to check on Saturday when I go in with my electrician mate... As it goes it's only powering a basic oven (gas hob) so we'll be able to sort it.. I just wondered if I'd missed some new 'cooker must have 6mm CPC' reg. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

Seems clear to me that a 6mm twin and earth cable is made with a2.5mm earth cable. So The bloke doesn't know what the fuck he is talking about.
