Oven & hob on 13amp fused spur

Former Community Member over 4 years ago

I’ve come across an electric oven and gas hob on a cooker circuit, the cooker switch feeds a 13a fused spur which powers both the Oven & hob, hard wired into a 32amp junction box.
the oven is rated at 13 amps but the hob 3 amps Is this acceptable as the hob is protected by a 13 amp fuse?

A 3 Amp hob won`t cook much will it Tom?

Hello Ebee!!

The hob is gas and it uses the required electrics for 'ignition' only. So, nothing much in wattage?

I was thinking, (not a good point, for me, I know, haha), maybe remove the JB and fix a 'dual' pattress so one side can be fitted with a Sw't spur and the other with a plug top OR, 2 x switch spurs???
