Where two cooking appliances
are installed one room, such split-level cookers, one switch may be
used control both appliances provided that neither appliance more
than from the switch (On Site Guide, Appendix 8). Type protection: for how long will the cable have carry fault
current?
Regulation 525 states that the drop voltage from the supply terminals to
the fixed current-using equipment must not exceed for lighting circuits
and for other uses the mains voltage.9V for
lighting and 11.5V for other uses 230V installation.

Conductor size calculations
The size cable used for installation depends upon:
● the current rating the cable under defined installation conditions
and
● the maximum permitted drop voltage defined Regulation
525. Surrounding temperature: cable resistance increases temperature
increases and insulation may melt the temperature too high.

than 52.

cooker but readily accessible position.17A cable.
