Can I run a 13 amp fused spur off a cooker switch?

Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.05 PM

We have just bought 2 under worktop ovens and want to place them side by side. They both come with 120 cm wiring and need to be wired into a 13 amp fused spur. Both ovens have output of 2.99 kw. Can I spur off the cooker switch to feed one oven and then spur off a ring main double socket for the second oven? All electrics come from RCD unit. The cooker switch is fed from 6 mm cable and I will be using the switch to feed my new induction hob!

Strongly advise you to call a registered electrician to do this, as it appears you want to diy this. It’s far from a diy job.

This is certainly not a DIY job but could be possible if the calculations checked out for the supply to all three units. You would need a qualified electrician to do the cable calcs. for the 6mm2 cable taking into consideration the power consumption of the three units and allowing for "diversity". This would theoretically then allow you to run all three from the cooker control switch as separate switch fused spurs but I wouldn't attempt to do this yourself.

Always use a qualified PartP electrician for all electrical work

If you have a cooker supply with 6mm cable from consumer unit and a 32amp fuse then this will run both ovens as they will pull 26amps combined on maximum demand. From the cooker outlet plate or the outgoing leg of the cooker circuit you could split this into 2x 13amp power supplies However as the previous answer advised its best to get this done by a qualified electrician
