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?

    Table 2 of BS 1363-1, which is actually referred to in the Plugs and Sockets (Safety) Regulations, now lists 3 A, 5 A, 7 A, 10 A and 13 A


    Thanks for this information, Mr Kenyon. I'm glad that British Standards now represents common practice.


    I understand that in the early days of BS 1363 plugs, the official range of fuses available was 3 A, 7 A and 13 A, but this has been revised a few times.
