What is a 13amp plug?

If you have a dual fuel range cooker (also called a gas and an electric oven), you will need an electrical outlet of 13 amps. The plug should also be hard-wired by a licensed electrician into the cooker ring.

This ensures that the current passing through the plug is safe and not excessive, which could cause an electrical fire danger. The current is controlled by a fuse within the plug. The fuse will blow as soon as it is deemed to be overloaded. This safeguards the appliance against an overload of electricity.

The fuse is rated 13 amps, as indicated on the top of the plug. This indicates the maximum amount of current that the plug can pass without damaging the appliance or causing heat to the socket. When replacing fuses, it is important to use the same amp rating as the original. If you replace the fuse with one that has a different rating, then you risk overheating the socket, and potentially putting you and others at serious risk.

This nick must be large enough to allow the cable and sheathing to separate when the sheathing is pulled back. Cut off the excess sheathing, leaving around 40mm beyond the flex.

The sheathing of each pin is removed using coloured conductors as a guide. The internal cable is then secured into the terminal using the cord grip. If the plug has an attached cord clamp that is screw-type, unwind it and then pull the insulation back to expose the copper wires. Then, connect each conductor that is insulated to the proper terminal (starting with the earth, then neutral and finally the live) using the channel that they run through in the plug.
