Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a home chef who loves the responsive cooking control of gas cooktops but needs an electric oven to bake? Find a dual fuel cooker that offers the best of both worlds.

Gas cooktops are the preferred choice of many home chefs who have expertise in the kitchen due to their superior temperature control. They also allow the use of advanced cooking techniques such as charring. These cooktops can be costly though, especially if you require an additional gas hook-up and electrician to install it.

What is a 13amp outlet?

If you have a dual-fuel range cooker (also called a gas and an electric oven) you'll need an outlet with 13 amps. The plug will also have to be wired hard into the cooker circuit using a competent electrician.

This ensures that the current flowing through the plug does not exceed the safe limit which could cause an electrical fire. The current is controlled by a fuse in the plug. The fuse will blow as soon as it is deemed to be overloaded. This safeguards the appliance from overloads of electricity.

The fuse is classified at 13 amps, as indicated on the top of the plug. this indicates the maximum current that the plug can pass without causing damage to the appliance or overheating the socket. When replacing fuses, it's crucial to select 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 placing yourself and others at high risk.

Ceramic 13 amp fuses are very robust and can withstand high temperatures generated by a range cooker. Ceramic elements are also fire-resistant, and thus a better choice than other types.

There are several ways that 13 amp plugs can be installed. The plug can be connected to a live socket with screws or a plastic jaw cord clamp. The clamp on the cord should be tightened after the plug has been securely pushed into position.

Before connecting the wires, you may have to remove the cardboard wiring diagram that is placed over the pins of some plugs. The wires should be cut to the proper length, because if they are too long, they may be crushed when plug covers are changed. The earth wire should be the longest wire to ensure it is connected prior to the neutral and line pins.

How do I fit a 13amp plug?

The majority of dual fuel range cookers in the UK are wired to a 13 amp plug socket and this is very important because ovens draw a substantial amount of current and standard plug sockets are only capable of 10 amps.

In general, new appliances should be equipped with an outlet at the time of sale and this is all in keeping with the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994. However, older appliances may not be connected to the plug, and this is the reason why the problem occurs.

When connecting a cooker to an existing plug socket, the first step is to ensure that the rating of the fuse inside the fuse box is in line with the plug's rating. This is crucial since a faulty sized fuse could pose a risk.

It is also recommended to ensure that the fuse has been completely seated into the cartridge, and that there is no excessive movement. The next step is to prepare the flex to be used. First remove the sheathing from the flex, exposing the three insulated conductors within. Utilize a utility knife to nick the sheathing just beyond the grip of the cord at the entry point of the plug. This will not penetrate the insulated conductors. The nick should be wide enough to allow for the sheathing and cable to separate when the sheathing is pulled back. Cut off the excess sheathing, leaving a little more than 40mm over the flex.

The flex is then positioned over the plug with the earth terminal at the top and live and neutral terminals at the bottom. The sheathing around 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 using the cord grip. If the plug has an screw-type clamp for Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug cords loosen it, and then pull back the insulation to reveal the copper conductors. Connect each wire insulated to the correct terminal by using the channel in the plug. Begin with the earth conductor first, then the neutral and finally the live.

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, however the standard fuse in the UK plug will not fail until the cable has heated to a dangerous level. A damaged plug or socket may result in a fire, therefore it is important to be vigilant about how much power you use particularly in the kitchen.

The ceramic fuses used in plugtops measure around 25mm and are suitable for mains voltages of 240V. The fuses will have the BS Kitemark or a similar mark on the side and they'll contain sand. There are glass or plastic alternatives, however they should not be used with a live plug, or else you could blow up the fuse and possibly be electrocuted!

The majority of dual fuel range cookers sold in the UK require hard-wired and are not able to plug directly into an outlet on the wall. They are usually connected to a separate cooker ring circuit that is suitable for appliances that use up to 20 amps.

You can test the ring circuit at your home by examining the fuse box or asking an electrician in your area. Ask them if the sockets are connected to the same ring or if they're distinct. They should also be able tell you if there's a dedicated circuit to power your oven.

What is the maximum current draw of the cooker switch?

There is lots of confusion regarding what the maximum current draw of a cooker switch actually is. The reality is that the majority of cookers are not designed to connect to the standard socket, but instead are hard wired and fed into an oven ring circuit. This is because they will typically consume more than 20 amps of power each time the gas hob and electric oven are being used.

You will not find dual fuel range cooker dual fuel cookers that can be installed in a standard socket, as this would pose an enormous fire risk and infringe electrical regulations. A professional electrician should always install new electrical circuits in the kitchen, connecting them to the cooker.
