  • Double oven rated at 4kW currently sitting on a normal plug. Plug has a 13A fuse so I guess at least the house is unlikely to spontaneously explode, but I guess if I use both ovens at the same time then the fuse may go...

    The plug is coming off a 6mm cable that goes directly to the circuit breaker, so I assume it could be hard wired? Which would obviously be preferable...

  • Strikes me that it would normally go straight to the board and that using a 13A plug is just a quick way to install. If it is genuinely capable of pulling 4KW then as you say, the fuse will blow, and hopefully the cable and plug/socket won't scorch before the fuse finishes dying.
