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?

    If manufacturers state electrical requirements that you know are wrong, you may deduce that the manufacturers obviously do not know about such things and are quite simply - wrong.


    Instead of thinking that such manufacturers might be correct, for some reason, it would probably be better to expect that they are also wrong on other matters.




    By requiring the installer to use a 4mm2 cable I think that they are just covering themselves... personally I'd prefer to use some bell wire! ?
