What is a 13amp outlet?

If you have a dual-fuel range cooker (also known as a gas and electric oven), you will need an outlet with 13 amps. The plug should be wired by a certified electrician to the cooker ring.

This ensures that the current flowing through the plug is secure and not too high, which could result in an electrical fire hazard. The current is controlled by a fuse inside the plug. The fuse will blow when it is overloaded. This protects the appliance against an overload of electricity.

The fuse is rated at 13 amps, which is shown on top of the plug. This indicates the maximum amount of current the plug can pass without damaging the appliance or causing heat to the socket. It is crucial that when replacing fuses, you always use the same rated amps as the original. If you replace the fuse using one with a different rating, then you are at risk of overheating the socket and putting yourself and others in serious risk.

Remove the sheathing to expose the three conductors that are insulated. Then, nick the sheathing at the entry point to the plug (beyond the cord grip) using a utility knife, without piercing the individual insulated conductors. The nick should be wide enough to allow the cable and sheathing to separate as the sheathing is pulled back. Finally, cut off the excess sheathing, leaving about 40mm over the flexing end.

The flex is positioned over the plug, with the earth terminal at the top and live and neutral terminals at the bottom. The sheathing of each pin is removed using colored conductors as a reference. The internal cable is then fixed to the terminal by using the cord grip. If the plug is equipped with an attached cord clamp that is screw-type, unwind it and then pull the insulation back to expose the copper wires. Connect each wire insulated to the correct terminal by using the channel inside the plug. Start with the earth conductor and then the neutral and finally, the live.
