BIG BIG Range Cooker.

Zoomup
I wired up a big range cooker today in a new house. 14kW ish. A 32 Amp 6.0mm2 circuit. Final meter of T&E in 4.0mm2. The big worry is that we could not find a cooker switch on the wall anywhere, just the cooker connection plate. Perhaps not needed by the Regs. nowadays, but nice to turn off when cleaning the cooker, servicing it or in case of emergency, or last thing at night to stop children fiddling.


I warned the owner that it is not a good idea to turn on all ovens and hobs at once.

    Edit, add. The cooker could be wired for more than one phase. The terminals were L1. L2, L3, (linked out for 240 Volts) N1, N2  (linked) and E. So in some countries more than one phase is required.

    This arrangement is quite common. I have it on a Belling Classic Double Eighty four-ring two-oven cooker made in 1972 (and still in daily use!). It was done to facilitate exports to Europe, where 220V delta connected supplies to domestic premises (no neutral) were and still are common. Typically the appliances and power points were diivided between phases to get some kind of rough balance,
