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?

And off the beaten track, some makers seem to manufacture non-approved values as well.
Fake fuses -20A rating for 13a plugs.

A cautionary note for those who are not so aware that when you buy from abroad from Ebay and the like, you have all the legal liabilities as the importer, as you are the person first receiving the goods into the UK.
