Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a home chef who appreciates the nimble cooking control of gas cooktops but wants an electric oven for baking? Discover a dual-fuel range style cookers range cooker that gives you the best of both worlds.

Many home chefs with experience prefer gas cooktops for their superior temperature control and capacity to utilize advanced cooking techniques such as charcoaling. These powerhouse stoves can be costly though, especially when you need an additional gas hook-up as well as an electrician to install it.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you have a dual duel fuel ovens range cooker (also called a gas and electric oven), you will need a 13 amp plug. The plug must be wired by a certified electrician to the cooker ring.

This ensures that the current flowing through the plug is safe and not too high which could create an electrical fire risk. The plug is equipped with an electric fuse that regulates the current. The fuse explodes when the current is beyond its capacity. This protects the appliance from an overcharge of electricity.

The fuse is rated at 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 heating the socket. It is important that when replacing fuses, you always use the same amperage as the original. If you replace the fuse with one that has a different rating, then you risk overheating the socket and possibly putting yourself and others in danger.

A 13 amp fuse will be a type of ceramic, which is very durable and is able to withstand high temperatures generated by a range cooker. Ceramic elements are also fire-resistant, and therefore a better choice than other types.

There are a variety of ways to install an 13 amp plug. The plug can be connected to a live socket by using either a screw or a jaw cord clamp. The plug should be put in place with a firm push and then tightened, making sure the cord clamp is secure.

Some plugs include a wiring diagram on cardboard over the pins, and these should be removed before connecting the wires. The wires should be cut to the right length, because when they are too long they may be crushed when the plug covers are replaced. The earth wire should be the longest to ensure it is connected prior to the neutral and line pins.

How do I connect an outlet with 13amps?

The vast majority of dual fuel range cookers in the UK are wired to an outlet with a 13 amp rating and this is vital because ovens draw a substantial amount of power and standard plug sockets are capable of 10 amps.

In general new appliances should have a plug installed at the point-of-sale. This is in order to be in compliance with the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety Regulations) 1994. However, older appliances may not be connected to an outlet and that is the reason why the problem occurs.

When connecting the cooker to an existing plug socket, the first thing that needs doing is to ensure that the rating of the fuse inside the fuse box is the same as that of the plug's. This is crucial because an incorrectly-sized fuse can be dangerous.

It is also advisable to make sure that the fuse is fully seated in the cartridge and there isn't any movement within it. The next step is to prepare the flex that will be used. Remove the sheathing to expose the three conductors that are insulated. Then, cut the sheathing near the point of entry to the plug (beyond the cord grip) using a utility knife without penetrating the individual conductors that are insulated. The nick should be large enough to allow the sheathing to split and then expand when it is pulled back revealing the cable beneath. Finally cut off the excess sheathing, leaving approximately 40mm of length that extends beyond the flexing end.

The flex is positioned over the plug and the earth terminal is placed at the top and live and neutral terminals at the bottom. The sheathing of each pin is removed using the conductors in the colour of the wire as a guide. The internal cable is then fixed to the terminal with the help of the cord grip. If the plug is fitted with a screw-type cord clamp loosen it, and then pull back the insulation to expose the copper conductors. Then, connect each insulated conductor to the correct terminal (starting with the earth first, then neutral and finally the live) by using the channel they are running through the plug.

What is the maximum draw of a 13 amp plug?

The maximum current draw for a 13amp plug at 3kw at 230 volts is. This is a lot of power, but the standard fuse in the UK plug will not fail until the cable is heated to a dangerous temperature. A damaged plug or socket could result in a fire, so it's important to be vigilant about how much power you use, especially in the kitchen.

The fuse inside the plugtops are made of ceramic, about 25mm long and rated for 240V mains. The fuses will have a BS Kitemark or similar mark on the side, and they'll also contain sand. Alternatives to glass or plastic are available, but should never be used in conjunction with live plugs.

The majority of dual fuel range cookers in the UK require hard-wired and Dual fuel range cookers will not plug directly into the wall socket. They are usually connected via an exclusive cooker circuit, that is only suitable for appliances with a maximum of 20 amps.

Check the ring circuit at your home with the fuse box, or contact a local electrician. Ask whether the sockets are connected to the same ring or if they're separate. They should also be able tell you if there is a dedicated circuit to power your oven.
