Question: How Much Do You Know About Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug?

Dual Fuel Range Cooker With 13amp Plug

Are you a cook at home who enjoys the fast heating control of gas cooktops but wants an electric oven for baking? Find  silver dual fuel range cookers  that gives you the best of both worlds.

Gas cooktops are favored by many home chefs who have experience in the kitchen due to their superior temperature control. They also allow the use of advanced cooking techniques like grilling. These powerful stoves are expensive, especially if they require an extra gas connection and an electrician to install them.

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 flowing through the plug is safe and not too high, which could create an electrical fire hazard. The plug is equipped with an electric fuse that regulates the current. The fuse explodes whenever the current flows through it beyond its capacity, which protects the appliance from an overcharge 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 could carry without damaging the appliance or causing heat to the socket. It is essential that when replacing fuses, you always use the same amps as the original. If you replace the fuse with one that has an alternative rating, you are at risk of overheating the socket and possibly putting you and others at high risk.

Ceramic 13 amp fuse are extremely robust and can withstand the high temperatures generated by an oven. Ceramic is also fire-proof, which makes it a better choice over other kinds of fuse.

There are a few different ways that 13 amp plugs can be fitted. It can be connected to an existing live socket and the flex then connected to it by either a screw or a jaw-type cord clamp. The plug must be put in place with a firm push and then tightened, ensuring that the clamp is secure.

Some plugs include a wiring diagram on cardboard over the pins. These should be removed before connecting the wires. The wires should be cut to the right length, as when they are too long, they could be crushed when the plug covers are replaced. The earth wire must be the longest one to ensure that it is connected before the line and neutral pins.

How do I install 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 as ovens can draw a considerable amount of current, and standard plug sockets are only designed to handle 10 amps.

In general, new appliances should be fitted with a plug at the point-of-sale. This is to ensure compliance with the Plugs and Sockets etc. (Safety Regulations) 1994. However, older appliances may not be connected to an outlet and that is where the problem arises.

The first thing to consider when connecting a cooker to an existing plug socket is to check that the rating of the fuse in the fuse box matches that of the plug. This is crucial as an incorrectly sized fuse could be dangerous.

It is also recommended to check that the fuse is completely seated into the cartridge, and that there isn't any excessive movement. The next step is to prepare the flex to be used. Take off the sheathing and reveal the three conductors insulated. Use a utility blade to cut the sheathing beyond the cord grip at the entry point of the plug. This will not be able to penetrate the insulated conductors. This nick should be wide enough to allow the sheathing to split and enlarge the nick as it is pulled back to reveal the cable beneath. Finally cut off the excess sheathing and leave about 40mm over the flex end.

The flex is positioned over the plug, with the earth terminal at the top, and the neutral and live terminals at the bottom. The sheathing around each pin is removed using the coloured conductors as a guide. The internal cable is then secured into the terminal with the help of the cord grip. If the plug has an screw-type clamp for cords, loosen this and then pull back the insulation to expose the copper conductors. Connect each insulated wire to the correct terminal using the channel in the plug. Start with the earth conductor, then the neutral, and then the live.

What is the maximum draw of a 13 amp plug?

The maximum current draw for a 13amp plug at 230volts is 3kw. This is quite a bit of power, but the standard fuse in the UK plugtop will not fail until the cable has reached to a dangerous level. A damaged plug or socket can cause fire, so it's vital to be vigilant about how much you are using particularly in the kitchen.

The reality is that the majority of cookers aren't designed to plug into a standard socket, but rather are wired hard and connected to a specific oven ring circuit.
