Oven & hob on 13amp fused spur

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?

    Definition of "hard wired with 13 A protection"? This could cover a multitude of sins, including the present set-up and a 13 A fused spur unit. My interpretation of this would be, "Don't use plug and socket connection."


    As for the connection, my choice would be 2·5 mm² heat resisting flexible cord for something like this.
