SO FAR SO GOOD WITH COOKER ELECTRICS

[BARCUD]

Hi and thanks for the help so far with wiring in my cooker. The cooker has been successfully wired in and works perfectly.
Now I have the hood to consider.

I have a 45amp fused switch for the hood and now have to find where to feed it from. The picture shows a possibility. This is in my bathroom directly over the kitchen area below where the hood will be. (this will be tightly boxed in in the bathroom for obvious reasons.) Can I run a feed from this to the fused switch below ? If yes, then what size cable should be used ?

hope you can advise. View media item 9566

A cooker hood doesn't need a 45A supply

Why didn't you run 1.5mm or 2.5mm TE from the cooker supply to a fused spur and take the hood supply from that?

I would AVOID any unnecessary electrics within the bathroom !!!

(see on site Wiki for rules in bathrooms).

Where is the boiler and that outlet you have shown in your picture ?


Please don't take this the wrong way, but do you have any idea what your doing and do you understand the Part P factors that MUST be considered for both bathroom and kitchen electrical work?

Oh oh, my mistake ! the switch is fused with a 13amp !?

The boiler was put in the bathroom by a gas boiler fitter as it was too close to the cooker in the kitchen and space there is limited. The outlet must have been put there by the builder who built the extention, both nothing to do with me !

So I'll take the answer to my above question to be 'no' then ?

many thanks for the reply Chris.

A spur off a spur isn't recommended and you'd end up having quite a chase between the boiler spur and the bathroom floor, then through the floor and down the kitchen wall.

It's also an illogical point, in as much as all the other kitchen electrics is fused as ground floor / kitchen / etc and then having one that runs from the 1st floor circuit is 'illgical' Mr Spock.

Take a 1.5mm or 2.5mm from a socket or the cooker circuit and fuse f/outlet at 3A or 5A depending on extractor load.

(and thanks for being polite- not enough people who post say thanks )

Ah, now that all makes sense to me.

cheers, BARCUD
