Electric cooker connection query

Can you hard wire a 13amp cooker lead into the mains.

if the connection point is suitable then yes

I have a cooker outlet socket from the old cooker. My new oven has a 13amp fused plug so it would be ok to cut it and connect it directly to the mains?

You could just replace the what I assume to be an outlet plate for a socket outlet but it would require additional rcd protection if not already in place.

Ok thanks. Yes it all ready has one of those switches. I will just change the front plate to a plug switch plate. The cables are thicker than standard socket cables. Would this be ok?

Is the earth solid copper or stranded.

youll probably need to change the rating of the circuit, change the outlet for a fused spur or a socket
