What is a 13amp plug?

If you have dual fuel range cooker (also called an electric and gas oven), then you'll need a suitably rated 13 amp plug. The plug should be wired by a qualified electrician into the cooker ring.

This assures that the current that flows through the plug is secure and not too high, which could create an electrical fire danger. The plug has an electrical fuse that regulates the current. The fuse explodes when the current is beyond its capacity. This protects the appliance from an overcharge of electricity.

The fuse is rated at 13 amps as shown on the top of the plug. this indicates the maximum current that the plug can carry without causing harm to the appliance or overheating the socket. When replacing fuses, it is important to use the same amp rating that was used in the original. There is a risk of overheating a socket when you replace a fuse that has an unrelated rating.

A 13 amp fuse will be a ceramic one that is extremely robust and able to withstand the high temperatures produced by a range cooker. Ceramic elements are also fire-resistant and therefore a better choice than other types.

There are many ways that a 13 amp plug can be installed. It can be connected to an existing live socket and the flex then connected to it using an screw or a plastic jaw-type cord clamp. The cord clamp should be tightened after the plug is securely pushed into position.

Before connecting the wires, you may need to remove the wiring diagram on cardboard that is positioned over the pins of some plugs. The wires need to be cut to the proper length, because if they are too long they can get crushed when the plug covers are replaced. The earth wire must be the longest to connect it prior to the line and neutral pins.

How do I install an outlet with 13amps?

The majority of dual fuel range style dual fuel cookers cookers sold in the UK are wired to a 13 amp plug socket and this is vital because ovens draw a substantial amount of current, and standard plug sockets are rated at 10 amps.

Generally speaking, new appliances must be equipped with a plug at the point of purchase and it is all part of complying with the Plugs and Sockets etc (Safety) Regulations 1994. Older appliances might not have a plug installed and this is the reason for the problem.

When connecting a cooker to an existing plug socket, the first thing that needs doing is to ensure that the rating of the fuse in the fuse box matches the plug's rating. This is crucial because an incorrectly-sized fuse can be dangerous.

It is also important to make sure that the fuse is seated in the cartridge and there is no excessive movement within it. Next up is to prepare the flex that is to be used. Take off the sheathing and reveal the three conductors insulated. Use a utility blade to cut the sheathing beyond the grip of the cord at the point of entry into the plug. The blade will not penetrate the insulated conductors. This nick must be large enough to allow for the sheathing and cable to separate as the sheathing is pulled back. Finally, cut off the excess sheathing leaving about 40mm extending beyond the flexing end.

This flex is placed over the plug and the earth terminal is placed at the top and neutral and live terminals at the bottom. The sheathing of each pin is removed using the conductors in the colour of the wire as a guide. The internal cable is then fixed to the terminal with the help of the cord grip. If the plug has an screw-type clamp for cords loosen it, and then pull back the insulation to reveal the copper conductors. Connect each insulated wire to the correct terminal by using the plug's channel. Start with the earth conductor, then the neutral, and then the live.

What is the maximum draw of a 13 amp plug?

Glass or plastic alternatives are available, but they should not be used in conjunction with a live plug.

In the UK the majority of dual fuel range cookers are hard-wired. They cannot be plugged directly into a wall outlet. They are usually connected via a dedicated cooker circuit, which is suitable only for appliances with a maximum of 20 amps.
