Hi all,
My mates neighbour has bought a dual fuel cooker to replace an old full gas cooker, and realising upon delivery that it doesn't come with a supply flex, I was called in to attach one and connect up. As suspected, I arrived to find no cooker control unit (they thought it could just be plugged into the socket outlet that is behind the gas cooker - part of the 32A kitchen ring).
Obviously now they need a cooker circuit installed, however there is no RCD protection on the system, but they have 1 spare way in the CU, so I am thinking that the solution would be to install a small 1-way sub-CU with RCD from that spare way on the main CU, to supply the cooker, which requires 32A breaker, so 40A at the main CU.
Would this configuration be adequate if they don't want a new board? Any advice/ suggestions would be most appreciated.
