Depends how high your load is but will mean Running a larger cable and a larger MCB. Also why on Earth are you wanting to plug in some kind of Mixer into a kitchen circuitSo how would I terminate a larger load for a domestic 230V live supply?
You could try saying what MCBs are allowed/commonly found for normal 3-pin socket circuits, and what those sockets are rated at.It is a 32amp rated socket on a 40 MCB. Need we say more?
I had one once, not for plugging other stuff in but because we had a free-standing cooker we wanted to be able to move out for cleaning. The gas connection was a hose into a bayonet connector, so that came off, and it made sense for the electrical connection to do the same.Hi, I have a direct wired cooker on a 40A type B MCD. Is it ok to switch out the direct wire for a 32A 3-pin industrial socket (so the cooker could be unplugged and something else plugged in from time to time in a domestic installation?
One obviously could do that, but I would think it would represent the antithesis of 'convenience' !I would terminate the cooker circuit in a junction box using these Wago connectors. Then when you need to swap between mixer and cooker you isolate the circuit at the CU and swap. ...
One could also do that - but why are you suggesting a 4-pole isolator?If you're going to be doing this regularly then maybe also fit an isolator at the cooker point:
Sure about that?A normal 3 pin socket is .. limited to that by a fuse in it’s plug.
So your concern about a "32amp rated socket on a 40 MCB" - is it overloads or faults?A 32 amp industrial socket has no fuse in its plug.
Your second 'yes' does not answer the question as toi whether your concern is about overload currents or fault currents.Yes and yes.
Yes and yes.So your concern about a "32amp rated socket on a 40 MCB" - is it overloads or faults?
Yes, and why on earth would you want to?Also, would there be any issues replacing the 40A type B MCD with a type D MCD (potentially a 32A one)?
