thanks for the speedy response!!
there is already an oven connection plate behind the oven (when installed) and a 30a dp isolator above the worktop and a separate fuse (30a) in the fusebox for this circuit. Would it not be suitable to reuse the existing setup?
We have just purchased a Neff oven rated at 2.85kw (2850w) Now I assume this could potentially run on a 13A supply (2850w/240v=11.875a) however I dont like the idea of an oven on 13A.
However, my question is the old oven we removed was connected using 6mm T&E (the cable has AEI England BASEC F...
well we decided to replace the wiring, luckily the old wiring was 'pullable' throught stud walls so we just attached the new wiring to the old as it was pulled out. Here is a schematic of what did....

thanks, the cable following from the 3A FCU will be the flex that is prewired to the heater unit.
from what I can see, the 2.5 comes up from the socket ring, to the stat, then goes down the wall to the 3A FCU then to the heater. Which Im guessing is wrong as the stat is then only protected by...
yes its a hydronic heater.
When I first saw the wiring I thought it was a bit of a bodge but the switch I fit to the heater will be a DP.
thanks for your reply
1st post and Hi to all, its a great forum...anyhoo enough of the brown nosing LOL
I am replacing a plinth heater and went to rewire the stat, however it has been wired with 2.5mm cable fed from the socket ring. This feeding to a DP switch with 3A fuse before the heater.
What is there has...
