Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a home chef who appreciates the nimble heat control of gas cooktops but needs an electric oven to bake? Find a dual-fuel range cooker that gives you the best of both worlds.

Many experienced home chefs prefer gas cooktops due to their superior temperature control and ability to employ sophisticated cooking techniques, such as grilling. These powerful stoves are expensive particularly if they require an additional gas connection as well as an electrician for installation.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you have a dual-fuel range cooker (also known as a gas and electric oven) you'll require an electrical outlet of 13 amps. The plug should be wired by a licensed electrician into the cooker ring.

This ensures the current flowing through the plug doesn't exceed the safe limit which could cause an electrical fire. The current is controlled by a fuse in the plug. The fuse goes out when the current flows through it over its capacity, which protects the appliance from overload of electricity.

The fuse is rated at 13 amps, as shown on top of the plug. This is the maximum amount of current that the plug can pass without damaging the appliance or causing heat to the socket. It is essential to ensure that when replacing fuses, you always use the same rated amperage as the original. You risk overheating the socket if you replace a fuse using a different rating.

A 13 amp fuse will be a ceramic one that is extremely durable and is able to withstand high temperatures produced by a range cooker. Ceramic elements are also resistant to fire and thus a better choice than other kinds.

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

Before connecting the wires, you may need to remove the wiring diagram printed on cardboard which is placed over the pins of certain plugs. It is essential that the wires are cut to the right length, as leaving them too long can cause them to be crushed when the plug cover is replaced. The earth wire must be the longest to connect it prior to the neutral and line pins.

How do I connect a 13amp plug?

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

Generally speaking new appliances should be fitted with a plug at the point of sale and this is all part of complying with the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994. However, older appliances might not be connected to the plug, and this is where the issue arises.

The first thing to consider when connecting a cooktop to an existing plug socket is to check that the rating of the fuse in the fuse box is similar to the rating of the plug. This is crucial since a faulty sized fuse could pose a risk.

It is also important to ensure that the fuse is set within the cartridge and that there isn't any movement within it. Next up is to prepare the flex to be used. Remove the sheathing to reveal the three conductors insulated. Use a utility blade to cut the sheathing just beyond the grip of the cord at the point of entry into the plug. The blade will not cut through the conductors that are insulated. The nick should be large enough that the sheathing can split and enlarge the nick as it is pulled back revealing the cable beneath. Finally cut off the excess sheathing, leaving about 40mm extending beyond the flex 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 colored conductors as a reference. The internal cable is then fixed into the terminal using the cord grip. If the plug has a cord clamp that is screw-type, let it loosen and then pull the insulation back to expose the copper wires. Connect each insulated conductor to the proper terminal (starting with the earth before neutral, and then the live) using the channel that they run through the plug.

What is the maximum draw of a plug with 13amps?

The maximum power draw of an 13amp plug is 3kw at 230 volts. This is quite a bit of power, but the standard fuse that is fitted in the UK plugtop will not fail until the cable has heated to a dangerous temperature. A defective plug or socket could result in a fire, so it's important to be vigilant about how much you are using, especially in the kitchen.

The ceramic fuses used in plugtops measure around 25mm in diameter and are designed for mains voltage of 240V. They'll be marked with a BS kitemark or similar marking on the side and contain sand. Glass or plastic alternatives are available, but should never be used in combination with a live plug.

In the UK the majority of dual fuel range cookers are wired. They are not able to plug directly into the wall outlet. They are typically connected to a dedicated cooker ring circuit, which is only suitable for appliances that draw up to 20 amps.

You can test the ring circuit at your home by checking the fuse box or by asking an electrician in your area. You can ask them if the sockets are on the same ring, or if they are separate. They should also be able tell you if there is a dedicated circuit to power your oven.

What is the maximum draw of a switch for a cooker?

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

There aren't any dual fuel range cookers that can be fitted in a standard socket because this could create 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 power supply capacity.
