[QUOTE="Sharpend, post: 545079, member: 17152"] Take a look at the rear of the switch fused spur, you will see in/out, put your 20A cable in Lin Nin and earth then your hob cable in Lout Nout and earth. Change fuse to 3A and crack on. It’s your house and no one is going to knock on your door to check it. At a time more convenient to you, have your CU changed for a modern one with greater protection, for full compliance I’d suggest an RCBO board, (offers the protection of the MCB for overload, and RCD for earth fault protection in one unit) I would suggest that many houses are still with the same protection levels that yours has in and no one is knocking on their doors. When you come to have the board changed the electrician should suggest an EICR test, and/or provide a full set of test results upon completion of the board change. At this point subject to results you should have a compliant installation. [/QUOTE]
