    Rating plate on the side of an appliance.

    A three phase kitchen appliance is rated at 7.5kw. Now is this in total over the three phases or per phase? If over 3 phases then I guess that's 2.5kw per phase or 10.8amps per phase. The more I think about it the more I think it's over three phases.

    Is a cooker switch required

    Does a cooker need to have a separate isolating switch of some sort by law? Or can it be wired direct to the consumer unit? Thanks.

    fuses on fridge freezers?

    Hi there. Im new to PAT testing. I am confused as all the fridges/freezers I have looked at range from 55 watts to 135 watts and from what Ive been taught any appliance under 700 watts requires either a 3 or 5 amp fuse. However, all the above that I have seen have a 13 amp fuse and the CE rating...

    Fuse 40 with appliance 13 amps

    Hi there, in the fuse box I hava fuse for 40 amps and an "heavy" wire going to the cooker. However my cooker is 13 amps! Normally I would have changed the 40 amps fuse from the box but the plug of the cooker is fused, with a 13 amps fuse. So I guess that is enough to prevent the cooker from...

We also have fused plugs, which for instance might be 3 amps on a low current using device such as a mains radio. The 3 amp fuse is going to be safer and offer a level of secuity to the radio, and maybe a simple...
