cooker circuit into a socket radial x 4 skts

jon jordan · Jun 8, 2011

Hi customer has got a cooker circuit in 6mm t&e into kitchen

kitchen is getting revamped completely and he is having a gas cooker which need a double skt for igniter & extracter fan

thing is rest of house has been plastered already before i got there and only way of getting power to it is via this cooker circuit

can i change cooker mcb to 16amp leaving in 6mm t&e and using a sfs instead of the cooker panel and coming from that with 2.5 T&e into the extra skts he needs

There is a radial circuit in already BUT this has spurs coming off that into extra skts for fridge etc.

OR Do i completely rip the lot out ( radial skt circuit and re-do )
he needs about 6 double skt in kitchen and a db skt into cart port/garage thing
for washer/dryer

What can be done with cooker make safe and leave cabling inside new platerwork.

Use the cooker cable and extend it with 4mm, you can then have a 32A mcb. Note the certificate of the reduction in cable size, I'd also mark the cu as well.

agree with truckster. from cooker isolator you can have a 4mm radial or a 2.5mm ring final. either on a 32A MCB. easier than major surgery outside of kitchen.

so am i right in saying a 6mm into cooker iso panel out of back with a 4mm radial to extend ( customer dosnt need the cooker panel anymore as its gas so can i change that to a 45amp iso single switch then carry on with the radial in 4mm )

thanks guys saves alot if i can do that
