    Wiring a cooker

    I used to be an apprentice spark years ago [not all knowledge is gone, just most] and can tell by the size of the cable that it is about 4mm. Pretty sure if I measured it I would be right.

    Wiring a cooker

    Read label on oven and it says it has a load of 2.9kW and I think the mains is 230V. From physics I recall that P=IV => I = P/V => I = 2900/230 => I = 12.61A Would I not get away with a 13A fuse on a plug, which is plugged into the cooker socket, which in turn is on its own circuit connected...

However, I just wanted to check that this was not normal when restoring a chimney to working order as I know I need to go and discuss this with...

    Question About Chimneys and Fireplaces

    Thanks very much for your reply it was very helpful. I am pretty sure we don't share a chimney with our neighbour, and we both have 2 chimneys each, which is why I don't think they should have knocked through and I am wondering the reason they have done so. I don't know if they are getting...
