Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a home cook who appreciates the nimble heating control of gas cooktops, but requires an electric oven for baking? Find a dual-fuel range cooker that gives you the best of both worlds.

What is a 13amp outlet?

If you have dual fuel range cooker (also called an electric and gas oven) then you'll require a suitably rated 13 amp plug. The plug will also have to be wired hard into the cooker circuit ring by a competent electrician.

This ensures that the current flowing through the plug is safe and not too high, which could result in an electrical fire hazard. The current is controlled by a fuse within the plug. The fuse explodes whenever the current flows through it beyond its capacity, which protects the appliance from over-charge of electricity.

The fuse is rated 13 amps, as indicated on the top of the plug. This indicates the maximum amount of current the plug could pass without damaging the appliance or causing heat to the socket. It is important to ensure that when replacing fuses, you always use the same amps as the original. If you replace the fuse with one of a different rating, then you are at risk of overheating the socket, and potentially placing yourself and others at danger.

First remove the sheathing from the flex, exposing the three conductors insulated within. Use a utility blade to cut the sheathing beyond the grip of the cord at the entry point of the plug. This won't be able to penetrate the insulated conductors. This nick must be large enough to allow for the cable and sheathing to separate as the sheathing is pulled back. Finally, cut off the excess sheathing, leaving about 40mm over the flexing end.

The flex is then positioned over the plug with the earth terminal at the top and the neutral and live terminals at the bottom. Using the conductors with the colors to guide you, the sheathing is then removed from each pin, and the internal cable is fixed to the appropriate terminal by using the cord grip. If the plug is equipped with an attached cord clamp that is screw-type, unwind it and then pull the insulation back to expose the copper wires. Connect each wire insulated to the correct terminal by using the plug's channel. Start with the earth conductor first, then the neutral and finally the live.
