Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug
Are you a home cook who appreciates the responsiveness of gas cooktops, but requires an oven for baking? Find a dual-fuel range cooker that gives you the best of both worlds.
Many home chefs with experience prefer gas cooktops for their superior temperature control and the ability to employ advanced cooking techniques like grilling. These cooktops can be costly though, especially in the event that you require an additional gas hook-up as well as an electrician to install it.
What is a 13amp plug?
If you own a dual-fuel range cooker (also called a gas and an electric oven), you will need an outlet with 13 amps. The plug also needs to be wired in the cooker circuit ring by a qualified electrician.
This ensures that the current flowing through the plug doesn't exceed the limit of safety which could cause an electrical fire. The current is controlled by a fuse in the plug. The fuse explodes when the current is beyond its capacity, which safeguards the appliance from an over-charge of electricity.
The fuse is rated at 13 amps, as indicated on the top of the plug. This is the maximum amount of current the plug can pass without damaging the appliance or heating the socket. When replacing fuses, it's crucial to select the same amperage rating that was used in the original. If you replace the fuse with one that has an alternative rating, you run the risk of overheating the socket and possibly putting you and others at serious risk.
Ceramic 13 amp fuses are extremely durable and can withstand high temperatures generated by a range cooker. Ceramic is also fire-resistant, which makes it a more suitable choice over other kinds of fuse.
There are a few different ways that a 13 amp plug can be installed. It could be wired to an existing live socket and the flex then connected to it by an screw or a plastic jaw type cord clamp. The plug is then pushed firmly into place and tightened, making sure the cord clamp is secure.
Before connecting the wires, you might need to take off the wiring diagram on cardboard 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 could be crushed when plug covers are changed. The earth wire should be the longest to connect it before the neutral and line pins.
How do I connect the 13amp plug?
The majority of dual fuel range cookers in UK are wired with a 13 amp plug. This is crucial because ovens draw a significant current, and normal plug sockets have a rating of 10 amps.
Generally speaking new appliances should be equipped with plugs at the time of purchase and it is all in keeping with the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994. Older appliances may not have a plug installed and this is the reason for the problem.
The first thing to consider when connecting a cooker to an existing plug socket is to ensure that the rating of the fuse in the fuse box is similar to the rating of the plug. This is important since a fuse that is not properly sized can be dangerous.
It is also recommended to check that the fuse is fully installed in the cartridge and there isn't any movement within it. The next step is to prepare the flex that will be used. The first step is to remove the sheathing from the flex, exposing the three conductors insulated within. Use a utility blade to cut the sheathing just beyond the cord grip at the point of entry into the plug. This won't penetrate the insulated conductors. The nick should be wide enough to allow for the cable and sheathing to separate when the sheathing is pulled back. Finally, cut off the excess sheathing, leaving about 40mm over the flexing end.
The flex is positioned over the plug, with the earth terminal at the top and Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug the live and neutral terminals at the bottom. The sheathing of each pin is removed using conductors in the colour of the wire as a guide. The internal cable is then secured into the terminal with the help of the cord grip. If the plug has a cord clamp that is screw-type, loosen it and then pull the insulation back to reveal the copper wires. Connect each wire that is insulated to the appropriate terminal by using the channel inside the plug. Begin with the earth conductor first, then the neutral and finally, the live.
What is the maximum draw of a 13amp plug?
The maximum current draw for 13amp plugs at 300 volts is 3kw. This is a large amount of power, however the standard fuse that comes with the UK plug will not fail until the cable reaches a dangerous temperature. A defective plug or socket may cause fire, so it's vital to be vigilant about how much power you use particularly in the kitchen.
The fuse in plugtops is ceramic, around 25mm long and rated 240V mains. They will have a BS kitemark or similar mark on the side and will contain sand. Plastic or glass alternatives are available, but should not be used in conjunction with a live plug.
The majority of black dual fuel range cooker fuel range cookers in the UK need to be hard-wired and will not plug directly into an outlet on the wall. They are typically connected through a separate cooker circuit that is only suitable for appliances using up to 20 amps.
You can test the ring circuit of your home by examining the fuse box or by asking a local electrician. You can ask them if the sockets are connected to the same ring or if they are 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's switch is. The reality is that the majority of cookers are not designed to connect to the standard socket, but rather are hard wired and fed into an oven ring circuit. This is due to the fact that they usually consume more than 20 amps when the electric and gas hob oven are being used.
There aren't any dual fuel range cookers that are able to be fitted in standard sockets, as this would pose an extremely high risk of fire and violate electrical regulations. A professional electrician will always install any new electrical wiring to the kitchen cooker, and they will ensure that the load (both the oven and hob) do not exceed the capacity of supply of the circuit.
