Cooker connection not via RCD/FI although available - is rewiring advisable?

Hello,

I am currently exchanging the kitchen and notice that despite the protective conductor in the stove connection box, the RCD does not trip and the stove box still has power even when the RCD is off.

A look into the box shows:
The three phases to the 3x16A fuses go directly from above at the RCD to the fuses, not from below, so they are still before the RCD.

Two questions about this: why was it done this way?
Is it now sufficient to simply connect the three fuses downward to the RCD?

Thanks

A glass cooktop normally does not need an RCD. I would not rewire it. 1. You are not allowed 2. RCD only up to 40A So you would need a bigger or separate one. But what for the whole thing, what do you want to protect?

The new kitchen equipment includes: Oven, 1 phase, max 3400 watts, fixed connection 3 conductors (including protective earth) 2-burner built-in induction cooktop with Schuko plug 3200 watts Refrigerator (Schuko) Recirculation extractor fan (Europlug)

The plan would have been: L1 - Oven L2 - Socket (cooktop) L3 - Socket (refrigerator and extractor fan)

What do you think?

40A per phase at the RCD, also pre-fused with 16A. I would rewire it (have it rewired ;) ). However, I would have implemented the pre-fuse with a 3-phase circuit breaker. Layman's opinion.

Thanks for the info!! Is there a reason to do this with the cables used with end sleeves or can 2.5 mm² copper be used here as well?

Now it’s not just the stove but the whole kitchen?

Oven etc. not without RCD!

Please don’t tinker yourself.

I don’t see any fuse here in the photo.
Only an RCD that already has 2x16A per phase and therefore cannot handle another 16A.
