The BG Electrical 972 Vertical Cooker Control Unit is an essential power management solution for homeowners and professional installers looking to safely operate high-draw kitchen appliances like electric ovens and hobs. Providing a robust 45A double-pole isolator alongside a standard 13A switched socket, it enables seamless control and auxiliary power for kitchen gear; however, users should note that it requires a deep 47mm mounting box, making it unsuitable for shallow wall cavities without modifications.
