Hi,
First post of several I think - anyway here goes.
I have an old house (was 2 semis, then made into 1 - then back into 2 - now 1 again!!!!)
So there are 2 cooker radials (but I'll get to that in another post).
One of these cooker radials is connected as follows:
6mm cable from 30A breaker - Double pole switch with socket.
1 piece halogen hob and single oven connected directly to cooker switch.
2.5mm T&E cable from cooker switch to double socket (double pole switch type)
2.5mm T&E from this socket to a fused connection point (13AMP fuse).
2.5mm T&E from fused connection to double socket.
SO, I know that if I want to change any of this (apart from replacing like for like or connecting a new cooker) I need to either get a part P person to do it, or apply for planning, do it myself, then get it signed off.
My question is, is it safe in this configuration?
I believe that technically, a radial circuit will allow this setup, and the main problem would be continual tripping of the breaker if all the sockets are used and the cooker is on full whack.
NB - I haven't got the power usage for the cooker to hand.
Thanks for your help.
