Im installing a new cooker and hob (electrical)

I tried to connect the 6mm cable from the switch--> hob -->cooker

Its a nightmare trying to get the 2 6mm cables into each terminal...

so ive connected the cable straight to the hob,and i understand i can put the cooker onto a plug top and plug into a 13 amp socket...its a single oven...

its a brand new home so i think this circuit should be able to take the extra load..

does this sound ok to do? thanks in advance...

you should use the cooker circuit for both

leave the socket radials for other appliances

i use an ip rated box with glands and 63amp connectors usually
