Default Re: 1960's Tricity Viscount cooker

It will just need connecting up to a standard cooker point (with or without an integral 13A socket) and 32A circuit breaker, using at least 6mm2 cable.

The old wiring colour code was black for neutral, green for earth, red for live as opposed to the modern blue for neutral, green and yellow for earth and brown for live.

Cookers were already pretty much as safe as they could get by the 1960s. Standards for insulation might even have been relaxed slightly, with the universal adoption of RCDs.
