Re: Kitchen Hardwired socket

[Mrxman]

Hi There

We're instaling a new kitchen. The previous owner had a hardwired socket installed for the induction hob. Additionally they connected a vertical lead to the same hardwired socket and which comes out of the wall further up. I assume this lead is meant for the hood.

Question: Is it o.k to have both an induction hob and a self circulating hood connected to the same hardwired socket.

Question two: Would an electrician be able to use the vertical lead to install a socket for under cabinet lighting or is there a better way?

Thanks

Ask the electrician who will be doing the work.

Do you really mean a socket, or is it a connection plate?

Q1 depends on the circuit, and it’s protective device (egMCB) in the hose consumer unit. Normally there would be a fused isolating switch feeding thd fan.

Q2 possibly, subject - like Q1 - to the current being suitably limited. Really, ask your electrician.

Yes correct, it's a connection plate. Bearing in mind electricity isn't my strong point, there is an isolator switch for both hob and oven.
Like you said, probably best to ask our electrician.
