Built in oven wiring

Question

Hi, I need to replace a built in oven. Can I wire this into a 13amp fused spur? Does the oven need to be less than 3kw? 
The cooker hasn't got its own supply straight from fuse board.
Thanks

Most modern oven’s are fan oven’s they will work off of a 13 amp plug 
They normally come with a plug attached

David · Answer

The original and newer ovens are usually 3Kw in capacity anyway.
Wiring in off a spur is not a problem at all, but do include a 13A fuse in the spur socket though.
And also do check and make sure the new oven is less than 3kW

Gianni · Answer

Yes Darren if es undef3kw you are fine whit a 13amp .But if is a 3kw or over that you require hard wire usual is a 6 mm

Stephen · Answer

If it is a single oven  13 amp plug will probably be okay if it is an   oven  and separate grill  you will probably need 20amp and a 6mm cable and a separate breaker run from a  cooker point directly to the consumer unit

Sam · Answer

If the oven hasn’t come with a plug attached, ideally it needs its own supply. You could argue with diversity applied, you could get away with it but 3kw and above, we’d be recommending it’s own circuit.

Benjamin · Answer

Yes you could and yes it would need to be no more than that. You should test the circuit to make sure it’s also in good enough condition to add the load and that you have enough power etc across all.

Luay · Answer

Yes you can as the majority of new ovens come with its plug. They already working with 13 amps. Thanks

Christopher · Answer

If it's a single oven chances are it's got a plug on it anyway. So can easily be plugged in the kitchen ring main 
A double oven could  need it's own supply

Benjamin · Answer

Engaging the services of an electrician would preferably be advised.

Russell · Answer

Prvided theres not an electric hob on this circuit then a 13 amp plug is fine. the oven is likely to be 2.5 to 3.5 kw which fine! Check that the feed supplying the spur is 2.5 mm csa.
