2 x 3 amp appliances on unfused 32 amp cooker spur - safety issue?

Viv

Can a 3 amp gas hob and a 3 amp gas oven be hardwired into an 32 amp electric oven spur with the 3 amp fuses removed? 

Also, the electric cooker spur will be directly behind the fan inlet/outlet of the fitted gas oven when it sits in its cabinet. 

This is what I've been told is safe, but alarm bells are ringing here.

  • Do you mean DIRECTLY connected to the 32 amp cooker circuit, without any intervening fused connection unit  or similar, then I would say NO.Small loading appliances are normally intended for use on 16 amp OCPD or smaller. NOT 32 amps unless the supplier specifically state other wise.

    Or do you mean connected via fused connection units, with the fuses temporarily removed for replacement or inspection, then subject the usual caveats, fine.
