New cooker installation
Anonymous user 23 February 2024 - 3.21 PM
Hi , I have a protected cooker circuit . I have a 45A Cooker switch above the worktop , which leds to a a double socket under the worktop for the cooker to be plug into on a 13 amp plug . And has a spur of the socket off to a junction box for the induction hob (6500w) to be wire into . I am looking to get a new oven but can’t find any that come with a plug . Would I be to attach a plug to the new cooker so I can plug in like the previous one ?
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

You can have up to 15kw load, (applying diversity) on a 6mm cable 32a MCB for a cooker. Table A4 Electrical Regulations. Quick job for an electrician I suggest you call one in, rather than dabbling and basically guessing

all cooker comes with leads, no plugs. They designed connect to 45A box, but if its 13amp cooker (inductions most of them are 13amp) is ok to attach the plug and just plug it.

No disrespect to the previous responses, reading your initial information you are going to put your cooker and induction hob into the same circuit and you are thinking of adding a plug yourself...your information alone shows a lack of knowledge and without seeing what you actually have and the loadings it would be incredibly irresponsible to state what you should do except call in a local professional to avoid any overloading and risk to you and your family.
