Oven circuit query.

[jwadd21591]

Hi all,

I have a 2200W oven I think that equates to 2.2Kw, on its own dedicated circuit from the consumer unit, the breaker is 32A, the cabling from the CU to the 50A isolator switch and to the oven is I believe 6mm, the L & N are stranded but not the earth.

However because the oven comes with a flex and has a 13A moulded on plug the fitters have just added a 13A socket on the end of the 6mm cable, presumably meaning the socket is the weakest part of the installation but as it's such a low power oven is this OK?

Should I have the breaker be downgraded to say a 16A?

Thanks.
James,

Yes, it’s ok.
The entire circuit, the cable, the socket are protected by the 13A fuse in the oven plug.

There’s no need to change the 32A breaker to 16

Does the circuit have 30ma RCD protection?

Yes it does, it’s not an RCBO it’s a split load CU with an RCD on each side.

Apologies, created a new account yesterday as I kept getting no permissions on my main one and then worked out it must have been a wider error.
