Stove wire question

[Leono]

Can somebody point me in the correct direction to determine the correct wire size for a stove connection from the DB board to the wall switch, and the on to the stove and oven. The current sparkie installed 2.5mm FTE, but I doubt if this is correct.

I think it is a 2.5mm^2 wire?

To determine the required cable size you need to know the load current, the power factor, the length, the installation method etc etc and calculate the size required from there.

As Andy says above -

Plus from a compliance point of view for what has been installed -

The current sparkie installed 2.5mm FTE, but I doubt if this is correct.

What is the current protection rating of the circuit breaker supplying the circuit?
