About 5 years ago during a full refurb on my house I re-wired the property myself (old aluminium wiring) in line with 17th edition. I had it all checked by building control and received the EICR certificate which passed on each part without any faults etc.
The earthing arrangement is TN-C-S.

Bosch Induction cooktop model NIT8669SUC ) came with 3 bare wires (Black, Red, Green) but my wall has a 4 pronged 240V receptacle. I am assuming that the 4 pronged receptacle has a neutral in addition to the ground. Question: How do I connect the 3 wires to...
Hi all, I've just tried wiring an indesit IB65B60 induction hob. I read the instruction manual and it said for 240v connections to put the brown/black wires together on the live circuit, earth for earth and the blue/grey wires on the neutral.

Hi all

Currently the existing wire starts as a 5 core cable that is crimped at the induction hob end into 3 core cable.
The Bosch comes with a shorter cable which has 5 core on both ends. I'd like to try and...

Thanks in anticipation.

We are renovating our kitchen, and part of the renovation involves replacing our gas oven with an induction stovetop built into the counter and a wall oven built into the cabinet below. I have added two breakers to the panel and run romex from each one to the kitchen area, creating one dedicated...
The manufacturers instructions for an induction hob I will be fitting in the new year are telling me to use either H03V2V2-F or H05BB-F (basically 90degree PVC or rubber flex) for the connection.
These are difficult to get hold of in the couple of meters of 4mm that I need, and I'm...
