Can I wire up a plug go straight into a ordinary fuse socket on a lamina built in oven 220-240 V 2,3kw
Many years ago i had an electric oven and Gas hob installed, He was fitting the kitchen at the time and also moved a few wall sockets around. Years later the cooker gave up and i disconnected it from the supply, but the wiring that i found was scary! The house has a dedicated 32amp mcb protected supply that leads to an MK box at the back of the oven, but what i found was that he had run twin and earth from that to a cooker switch, then twin and earth from the switch to a choc block, the choc block had the cooker/ hob ignition/ and extractor all wired up to it, but there was also another twin and earth wire from the cooker switch to a 13amp double socket mounted above the work top for the kettle and so on. What i am asking is 'How wrong is all that' ? What i am installing is a 34kw Samsung electric oven and a new Gas hob with ignition and i need to know whats right and whats wrong.
It is considered bad manors to hi-jack a thread. So first poster in theory you should have a dedicated supply to anything over 2kW which is built in. In practice the oven does not draw high current for that long once up to temperature then it does not take much to hold it at that temperature. There are two methods you could use, one is use the ring with a FCU or plug the other is use a double cooker connection unit and take two cables out of that. You need to check the oven can be fed from a 32A MCB but most can. As to the other post clearly choc block is not permitted outside an enclosure also the rules on conductors in parallel require both to be same length etc. But I find it hard to read the post and work out exactly what you have. I would make a new thread and start again with some spaces between each even so it is plain what you have.
