Hi all,
Got a question on site we are all discussing on the location of the fuse for the cooker hood.
Two arguments;
1 Cooker switch fuse should be on top of the worktop and a flex outlet behind the hood (no fuse).
- if overcurrent device blows it's easy to replace and more functional for the house owner.
2 Fused spur behind the cooker hood and 20a DP grid switch controlling it for isolation.
- Because there isn't nothing against it (opinion on site)
I no there is arguments for and against both but I want to know if there is any regulations to back either up not "engineering judgement".
