Hi all,
Have been reading for a while about this but just want to confirm that what I intend to do is legal and more importantly safe.
I have a 45amp cooker switch and socket that runs from a 30amp fuse in my fusebox with 6mm cable, it then comes out the switch unit to behind the cooker with a bullnose box for with the wire to the back of the cooker.
Above this bullnose is a FCU which appears to do nothing, it is spurred of the terminals in the bullnose with 2.5mm cable, the cooker cable does not go through it and nothing else comes out of it, a completely redundant FCU, with a 3a fuse in it.
I plan to come from the FCU into a single socket for the gas hob igniter, then from the single socket to the cooker hood.
I think it is above board, but to confirm...
Do I need a FCU for both sockets or is the one enough?
Is 2.5mm cable from the bullnose ok or should it be 6mm to the FCU?
Many thanks in advance.
