    Can I run oven and induction hob off 40A circuit?

    Hi, I'm a DIY'er but not a DIY electrician. I have a 3.5kW oven (15A min. 20A max. fuse) and want to connect a separate 7.4kW hob on the same 40A kitchen circuit. Looking at other posts in this forum it looks like it’s ok with a dual outlet, but do you need the cable dia. To check this first, or...

    EICR weird Hob install - wrong and safe, or wrong and run away screaming?

    Second post on an EICR I did today (always a good sign!) 70s flat with earthed conduit and singles. 6mm runs from the CU to presumably where an old cooker switch was - at some point that was tiled over somehow and is now inaccessible - what emerges below the worktop is 2 x 2.5 Twin and Earth -...

    Induction hob correct install

    I’ve been looking for the right answer and just can’t seem to find it. I had an induction hob installed by a certified electrician, and there are no apparent problems so far, however, it is installed on the CU, RCD and upstream with a RCCB with no MCB, I’m just not 100% sure if it’s the safest...

    Hob with 475mm depth cutout

    Anyone know a decent online retailer that actually lists their hobs by recess dimensions (or even lists them at all in some cases?) Side rant - why do a lot of appliance websites tell you all the information except the bits an installer might actually want to know, like recess dimensions or...

    Oven and hob on same MCB and diversity.

    I've just spent an hour getting bogged down with the maths trying to work out diversity for 2 cooking appliances on the same circuit (32A MCB) and same isolation switch, I thought I would give my workings so others can use it as I wonder if some just assume you can still use the 15kW maximum...

    Can i hardwire a plug and play AEG induction hob?

    We've recently brought a new build house and it's come with an AEG induction hob. We quickly realised there wasn't enough power to heat more than 2 pans at once. Rather pointless given its a 4 ring hob and slightly challenging cooking xmas dinner! We've had Bellway out and they explained its a...
