QUOTE(ceo684 @ Mar 23 2022, 01:41 AM) Its bonded to the metal casing. just clarified with the contractor, their so called 15A is using 4mm wires and 13A plug socket.Hence there is a need for earthing. You do not want humans to be the path of least resistance. That's why there is an earth for light points. Chop the cable and change the plug top? But be aware 15A is unfused, and your MCB need to be properly sized. If the appliance itself came with factory fitted 13A plug top then there is no reason to change the plug top type. You can replace with heavy duty bakelike MK 13A plug top. ⚠️ There is a duty of care on the mfg when the appliance is sold with 13A plug top it has to be within 13A load. ⚠️ If it doesn't come with a factory fitted plug top for some high power ovens exceeding 3000W, then it is not meant to be used on 13A sockets. However, appropriate methods of permanent installation such as isolator may be used.  |
