I had not thought of fusing down... I will change the fuse carrier and fuse wire. thanks for your help

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...

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...
