Hi,
I'm going to replace my horrible old electric cooker shortly, and I have a couple of questions.
The cooker circuit has a 30A breaker, and the switch for the cooker doesn't have a 13A socket in it (it's just a switch). I don't know the rating of the cooker but the breaker has never popped.
- Lots of the cookers I've looked at have ratings above 7.5kW. Presumably this would only be a problem if the whole thing (4 rings + 2 ovens) was switched on at the same time. Is it legal to install a cooker rated higher than the circuit?
- If I replace it with standalone units (oven + hob), can I use the same wall terminals for both, or would I need to get a second set of terminals fitted?
Thanks
- Ian
