Afternoon all. Working on a kitchen extension and the customer has just taken delivery of a rangemaster induction hob and oven combined. Ind is 11.1 kw, total seems to be 16.2 kw. I am calculating this as 27.5 amps. Can anyone else confirm this or am I missing something? Need to ensure I fit the...
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...

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.

When I turned the power back on the induction hob...

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...

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.

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 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...
