Hi looking at replacing a gas oven to 8kw electric oven, on my board it has a 32amp breaker feeding there already. I have also another board next to it with a 10amp breaker also labelled cooker. This 10amp as well as the 32amp when put in the off position turns the cooker off. Has anyone an idea as to why this would be?
When you turn off the 32a does anything else turn off or just the oven? Tbh that all looks well over 30 years old and isn't really compliant with todays regs. I would be thinking about consolidating the lot into a new CU with dual rcd or full RCBO protection.
Hi Coloumb I will be getting this upgraded start of next year. When i tuen the 32 off, from what i can tell it is just the oven feed. just unsure why the 10amp
Maybe the gas cooker used electric ignition or had a light inside, in which case it would have been electricity fed by the 10A circuit. The other circuit was probably provision for an electric cooker even if it wasn't ever used
Freestanding gas oven and hob, wired into a cooker switch. Power must be for the light and clock. either way it still isn’t making sense for having two breakers
