Hi all.
I've just bought a used range cooker off gumtree. It's dual fuel - gas and electric.
Should I use 10mm twin and earth to wire it or would 6mm be better?
It's a Stoves Newhome DFDL I think, with 2 ovens and a grill. The hobs are gas.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. :y
Thanks.
Kate

Thanks very much. :y
Yes I bought an alternator off eBay for £28 and the garage in my street fitted it for £50. :)
A big thanks to Kevin Wood for diagnosing the problem. :y

On the back of the cooker it says 22.8KW.
Would that mean it's 95A?
-
have you got the decimal point right
-
have you got the decimal point right
Yes that's right but I'm guessing that's the total including the 8 gas burners.
I had another look on the back and in small writing it says 4205W total which I assume is for the 2 ovens and the grill.

gonna say 22800 watts is a tad high :) for the electric side

So 6mm should be enough shouldn't it?

Don't forget to wet your middle finger and touch both wires before connecting them up, Kate, just to make sure there's power like. :y

No problem. I've just checked the batteries in my UPS. :-X

EDIT: Glad to hear the alternator is sorted.
Hang on to the old one and I'll see if I can refurb it in case you have any more trouble. :y

I doubt it, probably cant get the heavy duty parts, as according to Kate's calculations it will be 1.22KW rated. ;D
Sorry Kate, only joking, ;)

If anyone has any knackered 2.5/3.0 Bosch alternators I would be very interested as I have a plan to convert them to 24V operation....
