So was visiting a friend and they happened to have a problem with their cooker....it stopped working mid cooking a dinner!
Ok so BEKO electric oven with Gas hob.
Rating of electric oven is 2.5KW
Was hard wired into a FCU with a 13Amp fuse.
Wired in what I assumed to be 1.5mm2 white flex. (could have been less)- As far as I know the cable came wired in from manufacturer and initially had a plug top on it as a lot of ovens do these days.
So I was thinking the 1.5 would have been acceptable however it clearly had burnt out inside the cooker back plate and the fuse had blown,
Installed a bigger cable and put a clamp meter on it, was drawing about 11 amps.
Any body seen this sorta thing before? especially when it came pre-wired?
thanks.
