A cooker circuit with a cooker switch with one socket on it. The cooker outlet point adjacent.
At the consumer unit, an old Wylex plastic fused job with those Micro circuit breakers that replace the fuse. The cooker circuit has a 32A breaker. 6mm cooker cable. All appears fine.
The kitchen was done up a while back and the cooker outlet box removed and a blank plate fitted, which is now on a blank wall. The socket on the cooker switch is used. 32A appears too big for just a socket.
Should the breaker at the consumer unit be downrated to 16A? Is 32A too big for a radial circuit?
Also, it is possible to fit a socket in the blacking plate and move the cable behind the cooker switch from outlet to inlet daisy chaining the two sockets on one radial circuit. Again would it need to be 16A breaker.
Thanks in advance.
