Hi all, I'm new on here....
I have an existing 32A cooker circuit with a wall switch with 13A plug hole.The manufacturer says the new oven is hardwired and is 16A.
Can I just replace the breaker in the consumer unit with a 16A one and use the existing wiring?
Current breaker is a Proteus...
Hi,
I've just bought a new built-in 3.4kw oven = 14.8A @ 230v. I'm getting 245v so actually 13.8A.
Existing oven plugs into single socket fed from 20A DP switched fused spur.
Ring is small (3 double sockets) with 4 x 20A DP switched fused spur single sockets (oven, washer/dryer, dishwasher...
I'm going to have to replace my faulty EVSE car charger with a new one. The Clipper Creek one is pretty pricey, so I'm looking at a much less expensive Zencar.
The concern is that it says it requires 16A.
My garage has a single 15A breaker for it that's in the house, but I don't know the size...
Just recently has some work done on a conservatory, and in the process discovered that the 2 double sockets are not part of a ring main... looks like one is a spur off the back of a ring socket in the main house, and the second is a spur off of that :eek:
So, question is, if I replace the ring...
Hi all,
I appreciate that this is a question that has been answered a lot but each response I could find was for slightly different set up to mine, so hoping you guys might be able to advise. If any work is needed I will get an electrician out, but don't really want to take time off work and...
Hi, I'm replacing a microwave oven rated at 13A with one rated at 16A. This plus a conventional oven are fed from a 32A MCB in a consumer unit, via a single 6mm2 T&E cable to two 13A fused flex outlet switches. The original installation was professionally done seven years ago. Can I replace...
Hi all,
Thank you in advance for your help.
This is my current setup:
32a MCB to 45a CCU with 6mm^2 wiring (no additional socket at CCU)
6mm^2 wiring to two separate sockets behind kitchen units (one for gas hob ignition one for 13a plug in oven, nothing else on circuit)
My new oven is 3640W...
Hi Everyone,
I have armour cable running from my house to my garage in a new build, it is connected to 2.5 that connects to my consumer unit, can i put a socket before armour cable for my wifes new battery hoover without any adverse effects? its protected by a 16a breaker then runs to garage...
I've discovered that one of the bedroom lights in our 1930's 3 bed semi have been wired (I guess as a spur) into the upstairs 16A radial circuit. Similarly the light in the porch extension at the front of the house are on the 16A radial too. I know the best solution would be to wire correctly...
Sorry to put this up as I do not have enough information, just after some thoughts really.
Have a house where they want some additional sockets and looking at the CU (16th edition) there are two 16A circuits with two cables (2.5mm2) coming out from each, OK I thought two 16A RFCs, bit odd.
In...
Right theres a good chance I could be picking this up wrong, but I'm sure this was what was said. Boy in my college class said he spurred off a water heater circuit (3kw) for a socket for a 2kw fire. Surely this can't be right?
Can anyone help? got old MEM Memera 21 board , a 16a mcb broken (type 1) . Wholesalers can't supply under £40.00 as now (type 3). Halfway through Level 3 CG2330 (Confident to change/upgrade board). At this stage would rather replace Mcb? ,any advice very grateful.
Hi Guys,
Firslty i'm new to the forums so hello and hope you're all doing well.
A quick question on the size of the HO7 flex I need to use for a splitter that will have a 32A Comando Plug on one end and two 16A Sockets on the other.
Would I be right in saying that each split will need 2.5mm...
Am i allowed to install a radial circuit that supplies 1 single and 1 double socket in a garage with 1.5mm cable?
It is unsheathed cable in plastic conduit (ref method B). From the BRB this has a Current Carrying Capacity of 17A. It is on a 16A MCB and the load it supplies will be a freezer...
This is my first post so Hi to all
I have to wire in a couple of 16 amp 3 phase wall sockets in a work shop.
The ones I have been given are 4 pin.
If I run Line 1, Line 2, and Line 3 standard brown Black Grey I am guessing the 4th pin is for earth and power is between each phase?
Just...
Does anyone have an ABB MCB 16a i could buy off them? I have been to my suppliers and they want £75 for one as ABB have a minium order of £50 plus p&p or does anyone know if any other makes fit?
