16A oven on 13A plug?

[ericmark]

15 amp sockets do have shutters, and since no fuse do not get hot like 13 amp plugs, however it would need two cables one for each socket as it will need a 16A MCB/RCBO on the feed to each socket, so no advantage using a 15A socket to hard wiring other than removal for maintenance.

In real terms using a 32A supply for oven, hob, or cooker is standard practice and no real problem, only when using a 45A supply is there a question as to if you can supply an item designed for 15A with such a large supply.

From the OP last Wednesday:

I’m happy with the rest of installation he’s done but seemed pointless to put in thick cable then bottle neck it with a regular 13A plug when it wouldn’t be hard to add a cooker connector.

He seems to have sussed it so why introduce unnecessary pointless apparent remedies to a problem he does not have?

As long as whoever installs it is prepared to sign the certificate identifying it as a departure....

But WOE would you ever want a fixed, built in appliance on a plug?

Well, someone who might wish to pull the unit out to service it. The other method would be to use a cooker outlet(s) and a fixed cable(s). 16amp plugs and sockets, hidden away behind would satisfy me.

That's 10mm T&E isn't it? A bit overkill for a plug and socket!
He sounds well dodgy to me - we had some 3kw workshop fan heaters in work and they had to be hard wired.

6mm2.

Solid earth.

Does that sort of thing happen so frequently that the effort of undoing connections in an outlet plate would be so onerous that avoiding that type of connection would be a good thing?
