Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a home cook who loves the flexibility of gas cooktops but requires an oven to bake in? Find a dual fuel cooker that gives you the best of both worlds.

What is a 13amp plug?

If you own dual fuel range cooker (also called an electric and gas oven) then you'll require a suitably rated 13 amp plug. The plug will also need to be wired in the cooker ring circuit by a fully certified electrician.

This ensures that the current flowing through the plug does not exceed the safe limit which could cause an electrical fire. The plug has a fuse that controls the current. The fuse will blow when it is overloaded. This safeguards the appliance from overloads of electricity.

The fuse is listed at 13 amps as indicated on the top of the plug and it indicates the maximum current that the plug can carry without causing damage to the appliance or overheating the socket. When replacing fuses, it is crucial to select the same amperage rating that was used in the original. If you replace the fuse using one with the different ratings, you are at risk of overheating the socket and placing yourself and others at danger.

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

The earth wire should be the longest in order to connect it prior to the line and neutral pins.

How do I connect an outlet with 13amps?

First remove the sheathing from the flex to expose the three insulated conductors within. Use a utility blade to cut the sheathing just beyond the grip of the cord at the entry point of the plug. This will not penetrate the insulated conductors. This nick must be large enough to allow for the cable and sheathing to separate as the sheathing is pulled back. Cut off the excess sheathing, leaving a little more than 40mm over the flex.

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 in the plug.

The maximum current draw for an 13amp plug is 3kw at 230 volts. This is quite a bit of power, but the standard fuse in the UK plug will not fail until the cable is heated to a risky temperature. A faulty plug or socket can result in a fire, so it's important to keep an eye on how much power you use, especially in the kitchen.
