Oven install
Posted: Sun Sep 13, 2020 10:07 pm
Hi guys - so glad there is now a new forum, I had been missing the old one!
Long story short I have a client who purchased a freestanding oven from trademe - the seller also installed it.
Turns out the guy wasn’t licensed (he f’d it up & appliance kept blowing the fuse to the point it now doesn’t operate properly) & now the EWRB have gotten involved.
Current setup is 6mm t+e from board to the oven switch, 27A fuse, 2.5 or possibly 4mm from switch to oven. Isolating switch is directly behind stove as per standard 1960s house setup. Hardwired.
Because EWRB are involved I quoted for the works, new mcb, new oven switch albeit same position, upgrade undersized cable from switch to oven, oven plug & socket installed.
My question is technically can I get away with like for like here - meaning current setup including hardwiring is ok.
At a minimum I’m replacing the old mcb to a new one & upgrading the undersized cable from switch to oven. I assume this will prob trigger the need to do a socket etc too.
Opinions?
