16amp oven?

[Andehh]

We had a new kitchen put in a few months ago, with it some neff appliances. Now, neff being incompetent took 4 months to deliver ours, and upon installation informed us they couldn't due to a 13amp fused spur being there.

Now, our electrician has told me he wiresdit all up for 20amps, including new cable to a new fuse box etc, however had done his back in and is off work until Christmas. All the cables look seriously beefy, 6mm+ sizes, either side of this 13amp fused spur.

Now, can I do a straight swap with 13amp to 16amp fuse? Or do I need a new switched fuse box?

Also, don't buy neff.

Thanks

If the cables are rated at least 20A and the circuit breaker providing protection at the consumer unit is rated to protect 20A there should be no reason why the fused spur cannot be replaced for a 20A cooker connection box

[Andehh]

Thanks Napper, yes its all 20amp & fused to its own breaker in the fusebox. I didn't realise such spurs exist, but the local screwfix has a couple so a job I will try tomorrow!

[Andehh]

Screwfix only do 45 amp ones. I presume as the RCD is at 20amps, this wont pose a problem?

Thats fine, that means its good for up to 45A. Your circuit is fused at 20A.

The "technicians" neff send wont be proper electricians just parcial scope trained hence non really understanding these things!

20 amp double pole switch will do. Just swap over.
