Terrible kitchen install

They don't always come with a flex; just instructions to consult with a competent electrician

Yes I know this but was commenting within the context of this thread.
Every unflexed oven gets a 2.5mm 3 core H07 flex with me.

But in the event of a short circuit fault there will be very little difference in disconnection time between a B16 and B32. Having said that I'd probably put that circuit on a 16 or 20a MCB- unless the cooker isolator had a socket on it.

there you go with the negative waves. adding a socket complication,

 

[Dave OCD]

You can never have too many sockets !

might not be fixed as in it's variable, but it does have a finite max. load, so can be considered as fixed.

Fixed loads should be purely resistive, a fan oven is not a fixed load.

Thousands of others wouldn't.

But its a teeny weeny fan of no significance.
