2 Spurs

[Bobbya82]

Hi,

I am replacing my current free standing cooker with an intergrated hob and oven. The cooker is on a dedicated circuit with 45A fuse, I was planning to wire the exisiting cable into the 5.8kw hob and replace the 45A fuse with a new 32A MCB:

For the oven I was going to spur off a nearby ring main socket and then into a 20A DP switch http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?id=66137&ts=90628

Which then fed the oven under the worktop into a unswitched 13A socket

Can you confirm this is ok and also the other problem is, I have a chimmey hood that needs power where is best to wire this into. As I cant create 2 spurs from the socket or can I?

Thanks.

Your plans sound fine. Though there are more attractive 20A switches around.

An alternative is to wire a single socket in the same way as the hob. Using a cooker outlet plate, with 2 output wires, one to the hob, one to a socket next to the outlet. Plug the oven in here. Then you only have one switch for the hob and oven. (If the cooker is wired in 10mm² (as it should have been with a 45A fuse), use 6mm² for the few inches to the socket, it will be easier to terminate)

And spur off the local socket you mentioned for the extractor. Just use a fused spur next to the cooker.

Haha! i happen to know his cooker circuit is in 6mm and I have advised on the other thread to use a 30A or 32A MCB; which will be just enough to feed the electric hob from the CCU leaving the oven to feed from a socket on the ring.

must people create multiple threads about the same subject??

and WTF was his old cooker circuit doing on a 45A fuse?

 

[Bobbya82]

Sorry to post what seems like multiple threads but I am all ok with the oven side of things now.

Would this switch do the job? http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=A431906&ts=72255&id=13014



Its just the chimmey hood I need advice on. As I am am using the nearby ring main socket to feed the oven where or how is best to supply the hood??

I take it I cant supply both the oven and hood off this one socket.


I promise guys that I will try to leave you alone if I can just just this part sorted?

Cheers.


Any help would be much appreciated.

Thankyou
(This is my current cable which will feed the hob, It is 6mm isnt it?)

Sorry I was just thinking. Regarding my last post is it feasaible to fuse the spur for the oven down to 13A thro' an FCU . then I can add the chimmley to this?
