Adding 13A socket to cooker circuit

[seasickstevie]

How is that achieved in a cooker?

That's for the "cooker" manufacturer to say.

The OP is wiring in two separate appliances, which probably come with two sets of installation instructions.

I don't know what details they give, but it's unlikely that the gas hob ignition supply instructions say "Should be protected by a 32A fuse".

Yes, it's very unlikely that they do say that However, they probably could - as I implied in my previous post, I would think it extremely unlikely that an ignition circuit could result in an overload current (so no overload protection required), and the circuit's fuse/MCB (32A or whatever) would already be required to provide adequate fault protection to the circuit (including the hob ignition circuitry).

Europe question again, where it will be on a 16A circuit.

Incidentally, sss, why did you say (something like) a 5A fuse? What is that?

The chances are that the installation instructions will state that (as with most appliances) it should be protected by a BS1363 fuse. Maybe it won't say what size, but I would think it'd be unlikely to require anything higher than 5 amps.

Well they'd be wrong on two counts.

1. BS1363 fuses are to protect the cable not what is on the end of it.
2. BS1363 fuses are not available in most other countries.
