oven connection

[tom1]

back on this tommorrow,

instructions for cable say 1.5mm h05vv- fg, or equivalent, this is just normal pvc flex,

will twin + earth be ok for this? its what most ovens take

Best advice is to at minimum ,follow Manufacturers instructions. Personally I would go one step further and use Heat resistant flex. reasons being that on some built in ovens a fair amount of heat can be expelled through vents and if your cable is not carefully routed it can receive this heat full on. T&E although commonly used in this application is not the correct type of cable for final connections to appliances.

going with fcu, but insted of a socket for the fridge frezzer and a sfcu for the oven, what about one of these fed from the fcu http://www.screwfix.com/prods/23484/Electrical-Supplies/Switches-Sockets/White-Moulded/Volex-Range/Volex-45A-Cooker-Control-Switch

i surpose it would be better if the fcu fed a separat socket for the fridge and a 10 amp fuse in sfcu for the oven

I suppose either option would do it.

I can see why you suggest the second option could be best in relation to the provision of a 10a fuse for the oven ,but in practice if the oven where to blow there would be a 50 -50 chance of the F.C.U. 13a fuse blowing anyway so there would be no guarantee of fault discrimination.
