Fitting electric oven

[JamesAsus]

Im wanting to remove an old gas oven and fitting an electric replacement.

There is 2 sockets on the wall, one with a fuse and a switch (there is no fuse in it currently), and one that has a normal plug and then a 'cooker' switch.

Behind the oven is a white socket that looks like the type where you hardwire an appliance in, ie. no plug.

I keep reading about 32 amp fuses for ovens but my fuseboard says 30amp trip.

Ive attatched pictures for the above.

Is it as easy as connecting an electric cooker up or is there anything that needs to be done to the existing circuit?

British oven normally under 13 amp, EU oven often up to 16 amp, so it will depend on the oven if a fused connection unit (FCU) or cooker connection unit is used.

Most ovens ive seen so far require a 32 or 45 amp supply.......

At a guess the switched spur ( left side picture) feeds ventilator fan circuit

You could be right, although its not fused and the fan does work?

Most ovens are 3 to 4KW so 13 to 16A.
Cookers are 30 to 45A.

when you say "oven" do you mean "cooker?"

I mean an oven.

It gets hot, it cooks your food, it has a hob on top.........

Are you describing a freestanding single appliance containing an oven and a hob fitted together by the manufacturer

such as this cooker :

or something like this oven:

?

Sorry mate, you're using the wrong word.

Sorry mate, you're using the wrong word.

Does it really matter, dont people have any common sense anymore, so i got the word wrong.......

The question is the same whether oven or cooker, its an appliance that needs a 32 amp but my current circuit is a 30 amp.

Yes, does matter. The question is NOT the same whether oven or cooker - they have very different power requirements, as has already been explained to you.
If you'd told us the above to start with, you'd have got an answer right away. As it is, we simply didn't have the information needed to provide an answer, as it would depend on what, exactly, your "cooker" was. That's why we asked!!!

The fact that you didn't realise there was a difference between an oven and cooker is not your fault, but you should now!

Let's see if anyone will answer now, I'm not going to (unless you want to pay me my hourly rate, minimum one hour).

How rude.

Coming to a forum asking for advice the swearing at us when we try to get it right...
