Cooker control unit spurred off for ufh

[m4tty]

Hi,

Went to a property today where someone had spurred off the cooker control unit in flex to rcd fcu 3a for ufh. Is this allowed?

I may have to change board and want to know if I put a dual rcd split load board should I change this rcd fcu for a normal fcu as there no need for the second rcd and they won't discriminate.

Cheers

Cooker should be on a dedicated circuit. You could swap the RCD FCU for a basic FCU, but is any of this actually dangerous? You could just note it on the paperwork, or offer a price to sort it out?

My gut feeling is either leave it exactly how it it or sort it properly, not fiddle about swapping the FCU over.

Pretty much all you can do.

3A for UFH? The instructions normally dictate dedicated radial too.

3A for UFH?

100-150Wm2, average kitchen, 4-6m2 at a push, 400-900W. Technically it's probably the right size, just.

fit warmup underfloor heating, instructions say its up to the electrician whether it needs its own circuit

It's generally up to me anyway. Also probably a bit of a tangental OTT thing to fit new UFH just because it is connected to the cooker.
