Wiring a hob to a built in oven that uses a 3-pin plug

chrisz · 21 Feb 2008

I'm looking at getting a new built in cooker that uses a 3-pin plug as apposed to being hardwired. Ovens that are hardwired usually have the hob wired to the oven first in my experience.

If I get this oven, does anyone know what the usual way of wiring the hob would be?

Thanks
Chris

A cooker is oven + hob.
Oven is oven
Hob is hob

You will not get a cooker on a plug, not unless its designed for a bed sit flat, small, oven, grill & 2 plates, with a selctor switch.

or a gas cooker, or a dual-fuel one

sorry, it's an oven. same questions apply.

if it's a single oven with a 13A fusd plug, you can plug it into any convenient socket. If you don't use a socket, you must have a 13A fuse in whatever supplies it (or you can use a 16A or 20A MCB if on a dedicated circuit)

If you have an electric hob, it needs to be connected to a cooker outlet plate which is switched by a Cooker Control Unit or a large switch, and supplied via a dedicated cooker circuit, usually pf 32Amps.

Click make some cooker connection units that take two outgoing cables; one of those, 6mm² straight to the hob, and another 6mm² to an unswitched FCU in the back of a kitchen cabinet with flex outlet for the oven?
