Oven & hob on 13amp fused spur

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
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?

    What is the size of the cable, feeding the JB?


    0.75mm2 is rated at 6 amps... I know this isn't feeding the JB! 


    6mm (or possibly 4mm) feeding to the Fused spur, then 2.5mm to the JB the circuit is protected by a 20a MCB


    To complicate matters the cooker circuit has been turned into a radial circuit as there is also a socket outlet which is used for a fridge


    The socket outlet is on 2.5mm I guess this is why the circuit has a 20a MCB  


    So its CU 20a MCB  >>> Cooker Switch with socket (switched side feeding 13a fused spur for oven / hob ) >>> Socket outlet
