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?

Very good Chris (as usual!). What I really meant were the other suggestions for what should be done above. 4mm cable? HR cable? 3A vis FSU or plug/socket. 2.2kW appliance but 4mm cable? As an aside would anything change if this were an induction hob, not an oven? Anything wrong with a 1.5mm cable?

Yes Graham, I agree, and we would probably see a range of EICR results just from the suggestions above, which is not a satisfactory outcome!
