cooker switch

[lammy76]

hi i am putting a new oven in 3kw i am running it on a radial on 2.5 on a 20 amp mcb just to check can the cooker switch be an 13 amp fuse connection unit with neon light

If this is a new circuit it comes under the dreaded Part P and what do the cooker installation instructions say?

 

[i=p/u]

il say yes dp/fcu

 

[lammy76]

yeh mate i just done the part p course .but was sliglty confused as the manual does not state much as what connections or cable to use i had to find out the kw on the website

 

[Johnuk]

ye you can i did it the other day,

or just a double pole switch above counter with plug and socket below looks better

There's a big difference between just doing the course and actually being a member of a scheme doing self certification!

This for me

 

[i=p/u]

for me too, as i wired a tubo chef up this week and required d breaker, which you wouldnt of known without manufactres data

 

[lammy76]

oh
yeh i know re just doing the course but i have to do to jobs before someone will come out and asses me .as to the post before i am putting fcu 300 to the right of the hob and then oven plugged in below is this what you meant

 

[D80]

Do'h should have read thread more thoroughly.

I'd be more inclined to put in a 20A DP switch, 16A MCB with the manufacturers instructions offering up so little insight.

 

[lammy76]

cheers D80 i thought i was talking to one person on here untill now does everyone else agree?

 

[lammy76]

also on a diffrent who are the best org to sign up with do self certification and the cheapest ?

They all cost about the same, have near identical requirements - so make a few calls and see what you think.

 

[telectrix]

just come in on this. if the cooker is fitted with a 1363 plug top, then do as suggested. if it's meant to be hard wired, then i would install a 6mm radial on a 32A MCB. isolator and CCU. this will future proof the job for if ans when a larger cooker is fitted.

 

[vjsmarwick]

Mmmm if it was me I maybe would have followed telectrix to sum extent by just fitting a 6.0mm cable but that's as far as I would have followed I would have fused it at 16A for better protection of the oven being fitted and would have hard wired it under the counter because there is nothing worse than having to pull it out if that fuse blows.

 

[drew35]

16 amp fuse under the counter?

 

[vjsmarwick]

No drew35 16A at the cu and hard wire oven under counter instead of plug
