You can, it's called the sunxtra k, lol although that would be a cracking Hob if you could get one that big.....
I’ll take a photo when I am next there this weekI'd still like to see the French instructions for the 5 core wire hob.
The reason for the larger fuse is the starting surge current.Many manufacturers do not rewrite the instruction for the UK market. For example AEG make an integrated fridge that consumes about 1/3 amp. They say it must have a 16A supply. That is totally inappropriate for British ring final circuits. So it must be ignored.
It comes with a 13A plug with a 13A fuse inside for an appliance drawing around 1/3 amp. The cable looks heavy enough to take 16A. The cable looks like it is to be protected by only a 16A MCB at the CU on a radial circuit with a non-fused Euro plug. It look like the 13A fuse does not protect the appliance.
A 3A or 6A fuse will protect this fridge adequately. It does not have to be on 16A supply or a hefty cable in the UK. I assume that it cannot be fitted on a 20A radial as the cable is not man enough to take 20A.
I would check it is actually CE marked.
Can you buy them on sticky back rolls as well?These post-brexit days it should be a UKCA mark for anything in the UK
Unusable Krap from China Anyway?These post-brexit days it should be a UKCA mark for anything in the UK
FCU is better than a plug for sure. But when on for sustained periods the 13A fuse, or connections, can overheat. A small box with a 13A MCB (or 16A - yes you can have a 16A MCB off a ring) and 20A DP switch off the ring would be better for sure. They could be in an adjacent cupboard.I'm going FCU route anyway, as I reckon it would be hard to argue a correctly fitted FCU is somehow inferior to a plug?
