Hi all
I have a question for you guys.
The cooker radial circuit in my kitchen is as follows...
2 cooker terminal outlets connected to a 45A DP switched cooker control unit, which is connected to a 45A MCB at the consumer unit, all wired up with 6mm T&E.
I hope to install an electric oven (rated 2.1KW) and a gas hob.
However my problem is that I dont want to have any more wiring done (just had the plastering done) and I have no spare socket outlet behind the cooker/hob combo to connect the plug for the gas hob ignition!
I was thinking that if I swap the 45A MCB/45A CCU for a 16A MCB/13A FCU and then swap an unswitched socket for one of the cooker terminal outlets, would it be safe to connect the gas hob to that socket? (fitted with 3A fused plug?)
Would this be ok? Or is there a better way of doing this?
Many thanks
