    Default advise on hob/oven connected load

    Hi,
    have just had a new hob installed and got an electrician to wire in power supply for it. separate feed to 32amp rcd, at the time i asked him about wiring in a new single built under oven he said it would just connect to the 13 amp socket as last one did.
    I received new oven today and specs says it is 16 amp.

    The total loads are 5.9 kW for the hob & 3.6kW for the oven, can they be connected to the 32 amp rcd, or do I need to have him rewire again to a higher rating?

    The total load =9.5kW so therefore 41.30Amp
    You could leave the hob on 32A MCB but need additional 16A MCB for the oven

    I am assuming the skt you would plug into is already there?
    If so how it wired do you know if it is on a ring main?
    If so do you know if all you skts in the house are on one ring or is the kitchen on its own?
