50 Amp Cooker switch

[bugsy]

If the manufacture stares 50a it has to be 50a agree with above but foregoing applies

Wait 'till you take off the back plate to find the terminals won't even take a 6.0mm properly!

We all know they should be able to, but I wouldn 't want to be responsible for it going Squiffy. The cooker has a gas and electric feed to it and the designers are looking for it to have a 50-Amp isolator as they are reading the manufacturers gumph, so no point going up against them to save a few quid when I can easily give them what they are after without too much fuss. Cheers anyway.

We all know that people who can afford kit like that are probably going to be dining out must nights anyway................

So this cooker unit has a gas hob, and they are still calling for a 50A means of isolation??

Is this cooker by any chance made outside of the EU, or made for markets outside of the EU?? As i can't say i've seen a standard 50A isolator for many years, let alone a cooker switch of that rating in the EU. Within the UK and Europe as a whole, ratings tend to follow the 6/10/16/20/32/45/63A and so on, system, apart from breaker ratings..... There are a few exceptions mind, like the crabtree pull switches, that i believe are rated 50A...

Best you give them what they want without fuss then, if it isn't industrial looking (which will probably be 63A rated)
