Fuse box

Recommended Posts

Can anyone please tell me what size fuse should be in the fuse box to run an electric cooker on.We have a gas cooker in the gite now and want to change it to electric and before I pay an electrician to come out wanted to know what size fuse it should be in case we already have a big enough circuit in there.

Thanks.

Will depend on whether it's a full cooker (cuisinière) or just an oven (four) because of the different loads.

Cooker: 32 amp.  Note: also needs 6mm cable.

Oven: 16 amp.

Btw, I can't imagine any sparkie fitting 'fuses' (cartouches) these days.  He'll use MCBs (disjoncteurs divisionnaires).  And there should also be a RCD (interrupteur différentiel) to protect people against leaks/imbalances.
