Hi all,

I need some advice from the above. At the moment I have an electric
cooker/oven and thus the 32amp MCB and radial circuit. I've changing
this to a full gas version and would like to convert the radial to a
socket circuit (plug for cooker ignition, cooker hood and possibly
another a doubel socket).

I have read diy books and posting here but there are areas I am not
confident in.

1. Do I need to change reduce the MCB to a lower ampage. For example,
to 20amp (and how is this done?). If I do change it to 20amp is the
6mm cable (I think) still suitable?

2. I'm likely to place a junction box or my first socket at the end of
the circuit. To extend the circuit do I need to use 6mm or is a lower
rated cable OK (for 2.5).

3. Is their a rule on how many sockets I can add and how far apart
they need to be.

4. Anything else I need to think about?


Thanks in advance.
