hi, just been to look at a job for connecting an electric cooker. Its a council flat that has been referb. Has a CU with MCB's and RCD.
The kitchen has been refitted (small kitchen with units just along the outside wall). The cooker will be at 90 degrees to the units.
The cooker outlet is in smack bang in the middle of the units behind the draws. The fitters have cut a hole in the back of the units to gain access. So the cable run will be about 3 meters.
The cooker is an old free standing cooker. On the back of it there is a label that says it needs to be connected to a 30A cooker connection unit.
I take it that is referring to the old style fuses? So is the 32A MCB that is currently fitted OK?
The other question I have, is there any issues with connecting this old cooker?
Cheers Rich
