    Default Help to replace stove wall switch

    I have a heap of electrical work to be done which I will leave to a sparky
    but he cannot get here til near Xmas ( a joke heh?) The one job which is
    annoying me is the replacement wall switch for the stove. We have just renovated most of the house, and this one switch is hanging out of the
    wall and flopping around and is handled daily to switch of stove (safety
    precaution, we always turn things off at the wall) and damaging new paint
    on the walls. The new replacement switch is a 45 amp switch as opposed to the old one being 32amp. I want to change the old one for the new, after having turned off the power at the fuse box of course, but because the switch is different I can't just swap over.

    The cabling to the existing wall switch is the standard grey 3 wire 2.5mm.
    The new switch has the following connections:

    1. Loop
    2. a symbol which looks like an upside down T with 2 small lines under it
    3. Line with the number 1
    4. Load - single pole with the number 2

    any help on the wiring connections much appreciated.

    Also, I am assuming that it is quite OK the replace a 32amp with a 45 amp
    as this is what the guy at the electrical supplies gave me when I asked for
    a stove switch.

    Regards

    I don't know what the other connections would go to, but this would be for the earth.
    Have a nice day - Cheers

    As noted previously, the T symbol is an earth connection.
    The LINE is the incoming power and LOAD is the connection to the stove.
    Note that wiring should be done by a licensed person only.
