Those are the pictures from new hob. It require 6mm cable according to the plate info. Current hob is hardwired through 6mm cable too. Fuse at the fuseboard is 32A shared for oven and hob. Does it mean that fuse in the main fuseboard need replacing for 2x16A and then perhaps oven to be on a...
I already have a 3kw double oven hardwired with 6mm twin and earth, direct to the consumer unit. Can I also add a 2.7kw hob to the same circuit?
Alternatively, can the hob be hardwired to the kitchen circuit?

Hello. Please could I double check something as I have zero clue about electrics. I have a 32a breaker on its own circuit currently feeding my 5.9kw hob. I'm upgrading to a 7.35 induction hob. My electrician said I NEEDED to upgrade my breaker as it definitely wasn't ok to use on the 7.35kw...
I am PAT testing an induction hob. It passes the Earth test, but then fails on the Insulation Test. Item is about 3 years old, no damage to unit or cables both inside and outside....Any thoughts
Hi all, we had our gas hob removed months ago and finally just got round to putting an induction hob in.
Its a normal 4 ring induction but one of these newer 13amp ones with a moulded plug on.
In the kitchen we have a 45amp cooker switch on the wall which feeds a 2 gang socket in the cupboard...
Looking at instructions for installation for Baumatic BHI300 it requires a 20A Double pole (3mm separation) switched fused spur, I quote pretty well verbatim from the pdf manual! I have never heard of such an accessory, but I have lived a sheltered life and willing to be surprised. Anyone heard...

Looking at changing out my gas hob for the PIV851FB1E Bosch Induction Hob.
The Induction hob is 7400W and by my calculations this would be 7400/230=32.2A
Was after advice on the best method for install.

Hi all,
I’m now ready to install my hob, I have a 32A MCB with 6mm T&E feeding a 50A rated switched supply at the worktop. The hob isn’t supplied with a power cable and the manual says it needs connected using a H03V2V2-F or H05BB-F cable with a temperature withstand of 90 deg C minimum. I’ve...
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.

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.
When I turned the power back on the induction hob...
Hi all
I'm in the process of swapping out my 4 zone CDA induction hob for a 5 zone Bosch.
Currently the existing wire starts as a 5 core cable that is crimped at the induction hob end into 3 core cable.

Can I run a 7.3Kw induction hob off of 2 x 16 amp circuits single phase I'm not sure what size cable is installed, I will check.
Would I be be able to run with the 2 x 16amp breakers or should I install a single 32 amp breaker with separate RCD?
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,
Just looking for a bit of advice here. I am considering swapping my existing 4 burner gas hob for a Bosch induction one.
I am not proposing to carry out any electrical connections myself, but simply finding out what my options are at this stage.
The setup I currently have: a 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...
Hi all,
A quick question, we are looking to purchase an induction hob and have been considering a second hand option, if one could be found that's almost new.
We have found someone selling an Electrolux one, that is claimed to be unused and looks like it is still in the packaging (minus any...
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...
