Hi,
I'm in the process of buying a 1962 bungalow, it currently has a floor standing electric cook, we want to change this to a Integrated eye level double oven at 4.8kw (@ 20A?), but were also moving it, the existing cooker switch is that same size as a double socket, so it makes sense to put a double socket in place of the cooker switch, Well just include it in the ring mains, can we make it a spur?
Secondly, going back to moving the cooker point, can I just take the cable back into the loft and put a Junction box in their and just cable from there to the new location or does it need new cable back to RCD, as it's been in there a while I'm inclind to go for a new cable, but I've not cabled to RCD before, the internal walls are solid, so all the cables I assume go down a conduit to the RCD, so should be fairly simple to pull though. I've done wiring before, but I'll get an electrician to do the connecting up, just might be cheaper if I can put cables in place. Is it 4mm for 20A?
Next time I'm at the bungalow I'll check the RCD rating, I'd guess 30A?
Thanks
Steve
