Ovens with 13amp plugs

[Revs1972]

Getting together a shopping list to install a new kitchen.
Been looking at Ovens and it appears you can now buy them fitted with 13amp plugs.
Now , obviously its going to be easier to "plug and play" with these, but are there any draw backs to using them ?
Plan is to run 2 single ovens and an integrated microwave. Worst case scenario , all 3 could be running at the same time.
The hob will be a 90cm induction with a 50amp connection , so that will have its own supply.

The plug type are of lower power and generally a single oven.

Yes, they are single ovens. I swore I read it had a 13amp plug fitted. I must have misread it. It says 13amp cable. ( which presumably you could in theory stick a plug on )
The bigger boy ovens say 16amp cables fitted.

I’d go for one of these, but I always tend to think big and over engineer stuff

The built in (single) ovens in our holiday cottages run on a 13a socket - makes it handy when the guests muck thinks up as I can just withdraw / unplug, and sort out elsewhere. Ovens came from Howdens.

the 13 amp are single ovens , an oven and grill that can be used at the same time are 16 amp and wired in .. hob may say 50 amp connection but only needs to be on a 30amp supply

Hi, It's all very well saying it's got a 13A plug but what size element is it? Mine has a 2kw element , so it's not pushing the plug to capacity. So the ring should cover two of the them and a kettle.

dont forget you've only got a max of 100a supply to your house.
oven + hob + shower + welder + one light bulb is gonna blow your main fuse.

That 100a fuse is good for around 120a for a good while.
The electric shower is the killer, they suck electric up like it's going out of fashion.

The carrier may be marked 100A, but it may have a 60A or 80A fuse fitted, best to check before having a shower

Most of the plug in ones are a bit cheapo .... 2.2kw max,

With your needs go for better appliances. .. will pay in the long term

Our Bosch 4 ring induction hob came with a 13amp plug fitted but it does say in the instructions that as you turn on more rings it reduces the power to the one's already running and this is quite noticeable when something is simmering. We don't have a 30 amp supply in the kitchen as we have always had gas hobs before.

Just don’t ask for a cup of tea

Our new oven came with a 13 amp plug fitted, but it does the single oven about 2kw the ignition for the hob, it's dual fuel, gas big oven and hobs, but the oven fan kicks in now and then, never had a problem with it.

Power shower pretty much constant current
Ovens and hobs switch on and off not full load all the time
Working alone in the garage max likely draw 13amps

Do you have a clamp meter you can easily fit to the tails, apart from the shower you might be surprised just how low the rest works out to?
At work, the distribution board has a constant display of consumption or supply voltage I normally keep it on Amps. with the lights on and the office powered up Phase 1 is 1.8A
Phase 2 is 0.6A
