Looking for a 32amp key switch for cooker?

[Adam32]

I am looking for a key switch for use with a cooker, which I believe is 32amp. You can get the type of things shown below all day for 13amp, but I have not seen any for 32amp. Does anyone know if anything exists like this for 32amp?

I want it to prevent a vulnerable person using the cooker unsupervised.

How about a lockable switch cover like these https://www.securitysafetyproducts.co.u ... ations.php

You can get "32A" key switches, but as it's to control a cooker that will be on for long periods of time, I would suggest something more substantial (So it will not burn out after ten minutes) such as a 40A rated contactor. (You could have a tiny key switch operating the contactor) But you would need an electrician to connect it and be safe.

I also like dewaltdisney's idea, could you not build a wooden box, put a lock on it and mount that over the cooker isolation switch.

I have worked on dementia/Alzheimer wards, prisons and SEND schools with cookers that are switched off at certain times. I have never seen a 32A key switch.

A hidden 40A switch before the cooker switch might be the way forward.

Do you have a ink to any of these products, as I am struggling to find what you mean.

There are lots of 32Amp rated key switches available, BUT they are rated at 32A but I would not trust one to control a cooker, since a cooker will draw a lot of current for some time (Yes, it will switch on/off as the elements require) but overall it will be on for a long time, if I were to provide a link you would undoubtedly buy a key switch, install it, and think no more of it until started a fire, so I will say again,

40A rated contactor. (You could have a tiny key switch operating the contactor) But you would need an electrician to connect it and be safe.

I know it's not the answer you wanted, but it is safe. (Which would you like, safety or a fire?)

You mean something like this:
