Spur or not to spur
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.17 PM
Hi, Moving to a new house and it had a electric cooker installed it’s now gone. I’ve bought a Neff single oven and a ceramic hob. I’ll use 6mm to install the hob but what can I do with the oven, instructions state spur socket but there’s not one only the cooler socket but it’s not fused at 13amp. I know that knowhow wire hob, oven to a Junction box and then to the cooker outlet but not convinced that’s ok. Any help appreciated. Thanks
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

But a professional would know how to do it and know it’s ok. Can’t tell you how to or how not to do it, as we can’t see it. Nothing better than a good dose of looking at.

Cooking appliances are allowed to share a suitably rated and protected circuit. As to the precise configuration and suitability of this in your case, you would need a competant electrician ('Knowhow' might send one?) to determine this on site. There is no 'one size fits all solution here. There are many factors which you really should not ignore when modifying such a circuit.

The work that you propose to undertake requires the skill, competence and engineering judgement of an electrician. There is insufficient detail provided to give a hypothetical answer. Invite an electrician into your home and they will come up with a compliant and safe solution having had the benefit of checking all of the aspects that need to be considered. This is not a task for a diy'er. Seriously and sincerely.

Hi Scots,
Probably best to call an electrician I'm afraid, could be a bit more difficult than you were hoping.
It all depends on power ratings, some ovens can be supplied by a fused spur from the ring main, others need a dedicated circuit. It may be possible to connect both to the cooker Circuit but again this depends on ratings and practically/accessibility of connections.
Any altered wiring or new circuits will require the relevant part p certification so I'd advise on getting an electrician in.

The cooler socket should be on with the ring main, you can split the ring and put a 13 amp switch fuse spur next to it or nearer to the hob just make sure you link the cooler socket and the 13 amp with 2.5mm cable so it’s still a ring main
