Can i take a Fused Spur from a 45Amp Cooker Point

[flukey]

now i can understand some of you saying the cooker circuit is a dedicated circuit, but like i said in my last post, some cooker switches come with a 13Amp socket outlet on them. so thats not part of the dedicated circuit, because theres nothin to stop some pluggin whatever they like into that outlet. im using just a cooker switch with a fused spur thats going to be rated at something like 5Amps, dnt really see any difference.

and to Electro i always try and use the same size cable to the supply side of the fused spur as from where im spurring from.

looks like youve answered your own question dave

If the circuit is protected by a 32A MCB, how come we are allowed to spur off of a RFC or the MCB with 2.5??

this was my point also

and a fused spur is being used so its better protected still
so the conclusion is yes or no?

looks like its down to personal preference mark. i say no but others say yes

Considering what has been pointed out in the previous posts, i would say yes its fine, especially in this scenario as there is virtually no way anything else will be used on the spur other than the extractor.

i like that jason, "virtually no way"

found this last night, seems our mate trevor linsley thinks its ok to put a 12kw cooker on 2.5 or 4mm t/e

If the correct voltage is used (230) this is nearer 52A.

However, it would still be mad to install a 2.5 cable to a cooker, especially if in the future a different appliance is fitted.

I did see a cooker once supplied by a 1mm cable,

i know that jason, just posting what one of our senior instructors and lecturers thinks

What i was saying was that the attachment is incorrect as we should use 230 in calcs.

And if that was from a lecturer what hope has anyone got?

your missing the point. using 230 we still wouldnt put a 12kw cooker on a 2.5 supply.
this is from the book BASIC ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION WORK by TREVOR LINSLEY former senior lecturer at blackpool and fylde college as well as head of the NVQ ASSESMENT CENTRE
the book is supposed to be the one stop learning resource to the 2330 level 2 certificate in electrotechnical technology
what chance do new trainees stand when this rubbish is out there

 

[lost-sole]

If a cooker circuit is dedicated then why do they come with a socket on,so in theory if the calcs are ok i personnally wouldn't coz i would get (NO SWEARING) off my boss

they only come with a socket on if the circuit is designed to include one
