New oven with plug

meanwhileinhell · 23 Nov 2017

Hi all,

I'm looking to buy a new single electric oven, but I have noticed that some of them come with a 13amp plug. My problem is, my current setup and oven came with no plug and wired straight into a junction box to a separate cooker switch on the wall, and is on a different wiring system with its own fuse. Is it a big job to get this changed so that I can use a plugged oven, or is it simply a case of removing the plug and wiring it into the JB?

Thanks!

Your new oven comes with a 13A fuse in the plug to protect the cable & the oven, probably because the oven has no internal protection. So you should not connect it directly into a 32A or 45A cooker supply. You need to have a suitably installed socket or f.c.u..
