help on new electric cooker

[munchie]

help I have a new electric cooker [fan oven] Instructions say needs 32amp fuse minimum ,so I figured probably 45amp as never heard of 32 am. My old cooker had 30amp fuse [wired fuse at consumer unit] .Can I buy 45amp fuse wire and rewire existing fuse and use existing cable? I can't find a supplier for 45amp fuse wire does this mean it doesn't exist?
Any help would be appreciated.

I think the manufacturers mean a 32A MCB, this is really the modern equivalent of 30amp fusewire. You can get a 45 cartridge fuse + housing to fit into your existing fuse holder but the deciding factor is your cable size which I would assume to be 6mm which has a current carrying capacity of approx 37A max. I would run with the 30amp rewirable fuse that you already have ( a 32mcb would trip before a 30amp rewirable fuse would blow) A better solution would be to replace all your rewirable fuses with 'plug-in' mcbs, they are about £7 each from screwfix or B&Q etc.
