Choochoo Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Hi everyoneI am installing our new cooker soon which has a gas hob with an electric fan oven. Am I right in saying that as it only has an electric oven I can use 2.5mm wiring and 20 amp socket with a 20amp disjoncteur. Does it need to be wired to the AC or A interrupteur?Thanks for all help.John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 HiIn theory yes.It depends of course on the load of the oven, for example it would be no good for a 5 kw oven, I think your good upto 3 kw, anything over and you need 6² cable and 32 amp disjoncteur.I am assuming you will not be needing a conseul inspection ? , since the 32 amp Type A circuit is required as a minimum standard installation whether or not you install an electric hob or not.

Spongebob Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 For peace of mind, taking into account the extra cost, (minimal), I'd go for 6 mm sq and 32A disjoncteur, through the Type A RCD. I've also NOT used a socket, but a proper French cooker connection.It's what I've done, taken straight from "L'Electricite, Pas a Pas".Spongebob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eslier Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Take a look at the oven spec. A lot of single fan ovens are only rated at about 10A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spongebob Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 I'd STILL rather do it by the book. You can always change the disjoncteur for a differentt spec, but the cable, if too thin, can't easily be changed, should you buy a more powerful, current hungry oven.Spongebob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillan Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 If it helps we had ours installed by an artisan and we have a special cooker plug, the wiring is 6mm and the breaker is 25A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choochoo Posted September 25, 2006 Author Share Posted September 25, 2006 Thanks everyone. I have a type A and a Type AC as required. I shall err on the safe side and go for 6mm and 32AJohn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
