Ask your QuestionHello
I am living in a property currently which does not feature a fitted oven and does not seem to have any specific points for a cooker to be attached currently.
In the meantime, would it be acceptable for me to use a free-standing electric oven using a sole plug socket or would I need an electrician to fit the oven in by some special electrical point?
Any advice would be appreciated!
Many Thanks!
"HI,
Depending on the rating of the oven (kW) this potentially will have a higher Amp rating than the plug top. Typical plugs are only 13A but an oven can be wired on its own circuit with 20A or higher.
I would suggest having an electrician do come calculations (Diveristy and Voltdrop etc) to check the correct ratings and if you need to run a new circuit and have a local form of isolation so this can be serviced (Fused Spur)."
