Cooker on ring main

[Tilecutter]

Ive just looked at a job where the double oven is fed from the ring main with no isolator. The rating is 4.2 kw which would draw 18 odd amps. There is no circuit on the board for a cooker. Im not sure wether it would be acceptable to fit an isolator or would it be best to put in a sole circuit for it.

Don't have my BS 7671 to hand, I believe it is in Appendix 15, a recommendation that appliances over 2KW should be on a separate circuit.

Does that mean I can't plug a 3KW load into a 13A socket unless the socket is on it's own circuit.

You tell me I'm only quoting BS7671

Couldn't agree more with you Ian, but the point I was trying to make is "permanently connected over 2KW" OK i didn't clarify this so apologies, your point was about plugging in a 3KW appliance, but yes the Regs are open to misinterpretation.

Know what you mean Pete but should you ever end up in court this is what the Barristors would be asking only a less polite manner
