Can a 3amp fused connection unit be added after the terminal outlet of my 45amp radial cooker circuit? I have just unpacked our new gas hob to find that the ignition is supplied from the mains. Am kicking myself because we had the kitchen rewired last month and I didn't think to specify that a socket should be sited next to the terminal outlet for the cooker so I could plug in the hob (Our old gas cooker had an AA batery to supply the ignition). It would be helpful if a three amp fused connection unit could be added to the end of the radial circuit. Any comments would be much appreciated.

in theory yes, but you wont be able to get the cable into the fcu as it will be too big, and before you ask, no you can not use a smaller cable to feed the fcu,
 
I guess you can't get 45amp rated FCUs then. Damn an blast!! Should have unpacked the hob earlier. Guess I'll just have to run an extension lead under the units from the closest socket. Either that or buy a box of matches. Thanks for your reply.

depending on how the cables routed you may be able to place a small consumer unit in an adjacent cupboard and use that to feed both oven and hob.
