Been at an apartment doing eicr this afternoon as they want to put it on air BnB, they have gas cooker and hob. owner had kitchen fitted and the fitter it appears used the cooker circuit (10mm T&E, 40 MCB, RCD etc) to feed a single socket, for a built in tall fridge/freezer.
The old cooker switch (recently changed to chrome to match) above the worktop isolates the fridge/freezer
From the cooker connection plate is wired a piece of 2.5mm twin and earth clipped direct behind cupboards into the double socket in the adjacent cupboard which the appliance plugs into.
its not a conventional design by any means, it incorporates an isolation switch (old cooker isolator). all testing comes back as within limits and would disconnect in a fault.
Am thinking a C2? but more i think about it am stuck between C3 or a C2
- 40 amp MCB is over rated for the 2.5mm run of cable to socket.
- enclosure (the cooker plate) not suitable for environment/ installation.
At very least Improvement recommended.
Thoughts?
