Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a cook at home who loves the responsive heating control of gas cooktops, but requires an electric oven for baking? Discover a dual-fuel range cooktop that offers the best of both worlds.

Gas cooktops are preferred by many home chefs who have years of experience in the kitchen because of their superior temperature control. They also allow them to use advanced cooking techniques, such as charring. These powerful stoves can be costly particularly if they require an additional gas connection as well as an electrician to install them.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you have a second hand dual fuel range cookers-fuel range cooker (also called a gas and electric oven) you'll require an outlet with 13 amps. The plug must also be hard-wired by a licensed electrician into the cooker ring.

This ensures that the current flowing through the plug is secure and not too high, which could create an electrical fire danger. The plug is equipped with an electrical fuse that regulates the current. The fuse will blow as soon as it is deemed to be overloaded. This safeguards the appliance from overloads of electricity.

The fuse is rated 13 amps, as shown on top of the plug. This is the maximum amount of current that the plug could carry without damaging the appliance or causing heat to the socket. When replacing fuses, it is important to use the same amperage rating as the original. If you replace the fuse using one with the different ratings, you run the risk of overheating the socket, and potentially putting yourself and others in serious risk.

A 13 amp fuse will be a type of ceramic that is extremely 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 several ways to install an 13 amp plug. It could be wired to an existing live socket, and the flex is connected to this by a screw or plastic jaw type cord clamp. The plug is then placed in a secure position and tightened, making sure the clamp is secure.

Some plugs may have a diagram of wiring on cardboard over the pins, and these should be removed before connecting the wires. The wires need to be cut to the proper length, as if they are too long, they could be crushed when plug covers are changed. The earth wire should be the longest to ensure it is connected prior to the line and neutral pins.

How do I install the 13amp plug?

The vast majority of dual fuel range cookers in UK are powered by an amp rating of 13 amps. This is important because ovens can draw large amounts of current, while standard plug sockets only have a rating of 10 amps.

Generally speaking, new appliances must be equipped with an outlet at the time of purchase and it is all part of complying with the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994. However, older appliances may not be connected to the plug, and this is where the issue arises.

The first step to take when connecting a cooker to an existing plug socket is to ensure that the fuse rating of the fuse box is in line with the rating of the plug. This is vital because an incorrectly-sized fuse can be dangerous.

It is also recommended to ensure that the fuse is fully seated in the cartridge, and there is no excessive movement. The next step is to prepare the flex to be used. Remove the sheathing to expose the three conductors insulated. Then, nick the sheathing at the point of entry to the plug (beyond the cord grip) with a utility knife, without piercing the individual insulated conductors. The nick should be large enough that the sheathing can split and expand the nick as it is pulled back, revealing the cable beneath. Cut off the excess sheathing, leaving around 40mm beyond the flex.

This flex should be placed over the plug with the earth terminal on top and the live and neutral terminals at the bottom. The sheathing around each pin is removed using the coloured conductors as a guide. The internal cable is then inserted to the terminal by using the cord grip. If the plug is fitted with a screw type cord clamp loosen it, and then pull back the insulation to reveal the copper conductors. Connect each insulated conductor to the appropriate terminal (starting with the earth, then neutral and finally the live) by using the channel that they run through the plug.

What is the maximum draw of a 13amp plug?

The maximum current draw for the 13amp plug is 3kw at 230 volts. This is a lot of power, however the standard fuse in a UK plugtop will not fail until the cable has reached to a dangerous level. It is crucial to be aware of the power you're using in your kitchen, as a defective plug or socket could cause a fire.

The fuse in plugtops is ceramic, about 25mm in length and rated 240V mains. The fuses are marked with an BS Kitemark or similar mark on the side, and they'll also contain sand. Glass or plastic alternatives are available, but should not be used in conjunction with a live plug.

In the UK the majority of dual fuel range cookers are wired. They are not able to be plugged directly into an outlet on the wall. They are typically connected through a separate cooker circuit which is suitable only for appliances using up to 20 amps.

Check the ring circuit at your home by using the fuse box, or call an electrician nearby. You can ask them if the sockets are on the same ring or if they're distinct. They should also be able to inform you if there is a separate circuit to power your oven.

What is the maximum draw of an appliance switch?

There is a lot of confusion about what the maximum current draw of a cooker switch is. The majority of cookers are hard-wired and connected to a dedicated oven-ring circuit not the standard socket. This is due to the fact that they typically consume more than 20 amps of power when the electric oven and gas hob are used.

There aren't any dual fuel range cookers that are able to be fitted in a standard socket, as this would pose a significant fire risk and would violate electrical regulations. A licensed electrician must always install new electrics in the kitchen to an oven. They will also ensure that the total load of the oven and the hob does not exceed the circuit's supply capacity.
