Wylex cat no. 104 - 45 amp switched fuse replacement

You may well be correct in regards to what you are thinking about the history behind this but that doesn’t distract from the fact you may have a live exposed terminal in your kitchen, this needs rectifying ASAP.

Could be very dangerous for anyone that comes into contact with it.

Which circuit breaker protects it the one that says Cooker.

Yes it seems so. That breaker is the only one on the board rated 32.

I'm going to beat Westward to it

That means no RCD protection. If you touch it you may well get a lethal shock. It should not be used for sockets.

You don't need a switch-fuse there. Get an electrician to fit an enclosure with suitable connections and reduce the mcb to 20A, preferably a compatible Contactum one.

Just flicked the cooker switch off and tested the current with a non-contact voltage tester and it seems clear, so no worries hopefully. The area is screened off by a big unit and i don't have kids so there's no risk of accidental touch.

This makes sense, will do.
