Hi all,
I am in the middle of installing a new kitchen and will be moving my single electric fan assisted oven.
The oven has a 13A plug on the end of the cable. I also have a gas hob with mains electric ignition which also has a 13A plug on the end of the cable. Above the hob I will also have an extractor fan which had a 13A plug but I took it off to run the cable behind the wall.
On the wall all these appliances will be placed there is a cooker connection, its not connected to an applicance, but I assume it is a 45A connection due to the thickness of the cable and the fuse in the fusebox. There is an isolation switch between the consumer unit and the connection. There is also a plug socket on the wall which is connected to the mains ringmain.
What I propose to do is either connection the oven, hob ignition and extractor to the ringmain and leave the 45A cooker connection disconnected or connect these appliances to the 45A cooker connection with or without an isolation switch.
Can anyone tell me what the best way to connect these three appliances to the mains?
Thanks
