50 Amp Cooker switch

[Engineer54]

We all know they should be able to, but I wouldn 't want to be responsible for it going Squiffy. The cooker has a gas and electric feed to it and the designers are looking for it to have a 50-Amp isolator as they are reading the manufacturers gumph, so no point going up against them to save a few quid when I can easily give them what they are after without too much fuss. Cheers anyway.

So this cooker unit has a gas hob, and they are still calling for a 50A means of isolation??

Is this cooker by any chance made outside of the EU, or made for markets outside of the EU?? As i can't say i've seen a standard 50A isolator for many years, let alone a cooker switch of that rating in the EU. Within the UK and Europe as a whole, ratings tend to follow the 6/10/16/20/32/45/63A and so on, system, apart from breaker ratings..... There are a few exceptions mind, like the crabtree pull switches, that i believe are rated 50A...

Best you give them what they want without fuss then, if it isn't industrial looking (which will probably be 63A rated)
