switches for oven & ceramic hob

[nichos]

Installation via modern split circuit Consumer Unit.

1. Moffat (Electrolux) fan assisted Oven (Total Rating 2,075 W) its book says it needs a double pole 13A min, & min gap 3mm between the switch contacts.

I have an oldish "Metal Clad Double Pole Switch 13A with red neon light", how can I find if the gap is 3mm or not?

2. Moffat (Electrolux) Ceramic Hob 5.8KW, its book says needs D.Pole switch with 3mm gap, & the cable must be H0BB-F Tmax 90 deg.C or higher.

So what amperage must the switch be?.

It will came off a 32A CB & RCR of the consumer unit.

Thankx nick

It probably is, but check with the manufacturer.

Or swap it for a new FCU, unless you like the vintage metalclad look...

How about 5800 ÷ 230?

But don't you have an existing cooker control unit? That will almost certainly be rated at 45A...

Thanx,
there is a Cooker Connection Unit (with slanting face & cable exit at the bottom), low below cooker/hob position, with 6mm cable coming from its own 32A MCB, will it need a DPole switch too, or just join the ceramic hob direct to the C.C.Unit.

There was hidden a 50A switch after all.

From its position it would be more convenient for the 6mm cable out of the 32A MCR to go direct to this switch & avoid extra wiring.

I hope this will be in order. nick.
