UK Hardwiring an induction hob

[Jock from the north]

The cable is a direct 8 metre run under floorboards

So not a long run then .you have a socket on your cooker switch .Best bet is to get an electrician in to work out the diversity and if you can replace the cooker switch with a normal switch unless of course you need it /are using it and that would help with loading .diversity is just a factor that seems to work and has done for years but only for normal use .if your using socket for a kettle say and your cooking xmas dinner there's always a chance the 32 mcb will trip.best to get an electrician in to have a look .they may be able to run in a new cable for oven although your rcd side of board is full .they may be able to fit a different type of rcbo on other side

He's done more than that the RCD is now in the wrong place, it should be on the left. I would be getting that looked at.

I think that's a sticker problem rather than an RCD problem. The RCD has the L terminal on the left, N right

if you're using the socket for a kettle say and your cooking xmas dinner there's always a chance the 32 mcb will trip.

We have never used the socket so that shouldn't be a problem.

Thank you all for your advice and information. It looks as if I can go ahead and order the hob.
