Installing an electric hob

AndyP123 · 9 Oct 2010

Is it ok to install a FCU between the Cooker Switch and the Outlet Box in order to create a supply for the electric hob above the oven? Thanks in advance.

Oh dear.

What is the power consumption of the oven
What is the power consumption of the hob
What is the size of the fuse protecting the cooker circuit
Were you thinking of doing this work, yourself?

Do you know the power ratings of both appliances?

What size the conductor is that serves the Oven

No, an electric hob will use more than the 13A maximum provided by a fused spur.

If it's a gas hob and you only need a supply for the ignition spark, maybe.
