@ Midwest, It is, but the regulations say competent, not qualified.

Different manufacturer’s say different things. But it ends up at the same litigation point.

 

[Kenny29376]

all depends on the terminals in the appliance. some use ring crimps, some just have the wires inserte alongside the screw ( with ferrukles if flex). have you got a photo of the terminals?

This is what I originally done but thought it wasn't ample enough so came here for advice. I don't know weather to use bootlace ferrules or ring crimp connectors.

Alas, not all qualified electricians are competent, and some unqualified ones are.

'Tis the way of the world...

You did not need to make a makeshift link for the top 2 terminals, the manufacturer has supplied one!! It is in your photo, beside the cord clamp.

So it is I didn't see that ?

you could use ferrules. the terminals have a square trap plate under the screws. for 2.5mm cable use blue ones.for 4mm or 6mm use yellow. however, as the flex is terminated to the side of the screws as opposed to under the screws, as you have it in the pic.is fine. just make sure that they are tight.

32amp for hob only

From my understanding you can't put a 2.5mm cable on a 32a CB . I would recommend 4mm on the 32a CB or if you decide to stay with the 2.5mm you have to change the CB to 20A

This is an old thread but, there are a few ways that 2.5mm can be installed protected by a 32A breaker without falling foul of any reg.

1. fixed load appliance
2. spur from a ring final circuit
there may be others but I have had a couple of beers so not as sharp upstairs as I am in working hours.

Even after a couple of beers you are absolutely correct
