I have been asked to estimate for a small rewire. The rewire includes a new supply to an electric hob. I asked the property owner the rating of the hob so that I can size the cable. He said that it can be run off a 13 Amp plug, so says his mate who is an electrician.
I asked to see the makers' instruction for the hob. It stated that the hob should be supplied from a switched fused connection unit. So far so good I thought.
But then the requirement was for a 32 Amp. fuse to be inserted into the switched fused connection unit. So much for following manufacturers' instructions.
