This has been reasonably well covered but I am looking for any feedback on what I plan to do.
I currently have a gas cooker with the ignition plugged into a normal 3-pin mains socket. I plan to change this for a single built-in electric oven, extractor fan and gas hob.
Oven = 2.5KW
Hob (ignition only) = 20W
Extractor = not specified, but 3A fuse, looks like about 0.75mm cable
I am aware of part-P, but started this job several years ago however I do want to stick to the guidelines.
My current plan is to break-in to the ring-main (which runs near the oven) and add 2 new 13A DP switched FCUs. The first one would be fitted with a 13A fuse and then 2.5mm cable to a 30A connection plate to connect the cooker.
The second FCU would have a 3A fuse and power the hob ignitors and extractor fan via 1.5mm cable and two 4A junction boxes (one for each appliance).
Does anyone have any suggestions or comments on this plan? I am not quite sure about the 30A cooker connection block as this might tempt future owners to try and connect larger cookers, however I don't think you can normally put fuses >13A in a FCU? so this should protect the cable.
Thanks in advance for any help.
