alright people!!
right, i have got a cooker that was in the house i have just bought. the label on the back says: Nominal power consumption 10 , 5kW.
does that mean 10kW or 5kW? i have got a new 45 amp cooker plate and the feed to the plate which is there at the moment is i think 6mm T&E but the breaker in the CU os rated at 32 amps.
It also looks like the cooker has been fitted with stabdard flex but has a moulded 13 amps plug on the end so dont know if this is manufacturers fitting or has been fitted by previous owner. The oven has never ever been used, just thre gas grill once or twice by the looks of it.
if, say, worst case, the label means 10 kW, then the cable suppluing the plate is too small, but if it means 5kW, then its ok.
Can anyone help me on what the label actually means - 10kW or 5kW??
as i say, it just says:
Nominal power consumtion: 230VAC 10 , 5kW.
written on the label exactly like that.
cheers
george
