    Potential Overloaded? (Kitchen Oven & Hob)

    Thanks to all, I'll pop down to TLC and grab one of those. I have some spare grommets, of course, I will whack one on. I was surprised myself when I took the cover off and saw no grommet! Form what I can tell, the cable goes from the CU to a Schneider cooker switch (double pole), and from there...

    Potential Overloaded? (Kitchen Oven & Hob)

    I have one of these left as a spare (45a cooker outlet plate), and while it can probably accommodate dual inputs, it is not designed as such I don't think.

    Potential Overloaded? (Kitchen Oven & Hob)

    Right, I am a mere novice and know sod all about anything but will have a go. Let me know where I am wrong, haha! So, we have the following connected loads - a 2.8kW hob + 6.6kW oven = 9.4kW = 9,400, divide by 230v = 40.87. Unless I am a complete muppet, I read that for a cooker the diversity...

    Potential Overloaded? (Kitchen Oven & Hob)

    Popped round my old dear's yesterday. She quite fancies replacing her ceramic hob with an induction one, so I thought I'd take the oven and existing hob out to see what state the wiring is in (property built 1930s although I expect probably had a refurb at some point in the 70s or 80s, but...

    Floor socket - 2 sets of T&E?

    3344BSW | Contactum - http://contactum.co.uk/content/3344bsw This is the socket in question. I can either earth on the galvanised back box itself or the floor socket. I will earth at the socket itself rather than the back box, for no good reason aside from the fact that it is easier.

    Floor socket - 2 sets of T&E?

    I went and had a good look and from what I can tell, it's deffo not leading to a spur. I then went and looked at the paperwork that I have and got the details of the guy who did the testing and inspection on the place before I ended up there. Call him, sent him a pic and he said from memory its...

    Floor socket - 2 sets of T&E?

    Right, not sure how much help this is, but this is a picture I took when looking around the place before I bought it and I noticed this cable sticking out the floor under the breakfast bar - it was joined up at the time.

    Floor socket - 2 sets of T&E?

    100% those cables are for a floor socket, in terms of where they run from I can tell you exactly what other items are on the same MCB if that is what you meant?

    Wiring up an induction hob - wanted to sense check if what I'm doing is correct

    Hello guys just wanted to give a quick update - here is how I wired the induction hob in (pic attached). At the cooker outlet plate end, I applied my shrink wrap in pairing up the blue + grey (neutral) and then separately paired up the black + brown (live). Sadly I don't have a photo of that...

    Floor socket - 2 sets of T&E?

    Before I moved into my flat, it had undergone a quick makeover and as part of that some wiring work was carried out including some extra sockets. I was told that under the kitchen breakfast bar there is T&E already there, it's just that the previous owner never installed a socket there but the...

    Wiring up an induction hob - wanted to sense check if what I'm doing is correct

    Thanks Rob! I bought a new heat gun about six months ago and have been itching to use it, so will crack open the shrink wrap assortment and get that done. :)

    Wiring up an induction hob - wanted to sense check if what I'm doing is correct

    Morning folks! The hob is a Bosch PIE631FB1E, 7.4kW. I couldn't find a useful manual aside from how to use the thing. So, I rang Bosch tech support who said the 5 core is the correct cable to use in the UK and that I should hook the lot up as per schematic N1, as shown on the back of the...

    Wiring up an induction hob - wanted to sense check if what I'm doing is correct

    With this being a domestic single phase / 230V installation, you're suggesting I just wire in the live, neutral and earth to the hob and the same at the cooker outlet plate end and just forget about the other cables / not wire them in anywhere? I'm a bit confused because the hob is rated at...

    Wiring up an induction hob - wanted to sense check if what I'm doing is correct

    Fine I'll resist the urge to lop them off. :D Did I read the schematic correctly in terms of hooking it up (my photos in the initial post)???

    Wiring up an induction hob - wanted to sense check if what I'm doing is correct

    Morning Wilko, I'll be connecting it to the cooker plate, which was fitted about a year ago by a qualified sparkie. I believe it is 45a. Ok, I'll have a fiddle and see how they can be secured correctly. Sorry for the confusion - the cable that came with the induction hob, is 5 core and...

    Wiring up an induction hob - wanted to sense check if what I'm doing is correct

    Oh and I forgot to add - the hob, like the oven and grill, have their own respective supply back to the fuse board, each on a 32a breaker. The oven and grill is rated at 5.9kW, the induction hob is a bit more at 7.4kW.

    Wiring up an induction hob - wanted to sense check if what I'm doing is correct

    Hi guys, I have a new induction hob which I'd like to wire in. I have already wired in the oven and grill into the kitchen using a length of 4mm 3 core heat resistant flex and that is working fine. Back of the hob shows the following diagram: Based on the above schematic, I plan to wire in...
