Maximum power consumption is 22A therefore I'd planned on connecting up with 6mm T&E if the terminals allow, otherwise with 4mm T&E. The instructions for the oven state that type H05 W-F or higher rated cable should be used. My main problem is I can't actually find any cable of this specification, or any definitive answer as to what it is! The letters don't even seem to correspond with http://www.diynot.com/wiki/electrics:cable_types:harcode Two questions: 1) What is this cable and where can it be obtained? 2) Is there any reason why I shouldn't use standard T&E as planned originally?

Given the ovens maximum consumption of 22A would 2.5mm flex be appropriate even though it's on a 32A MCB or should I be using 4mm? If I need to use 4mm, where can I buy it? M

Most ovens I've ever seen are... Also if using heat resistant flex, does it *need* to be rated to the 32A MCB or just to the maximum consumption of the oven, ie 22A? I
